Hello，Chicago！
芝城父老，別來無恙！
If there is a 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．
余嘗聞世人有疑，不知當今美利堅凡事皆可成就耶？開國先賢之志方巋然於世耶？民主之偉力不減於昔年耶？凡存諸疑者，今夕當可釋然。
It''s the aold by lihat stretched around schools and churches in his 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．
今夕之釋然，皆蒙美利堅民眾之協力——學塾祠廟之外，市井鄉野之間，萬千父老心焦似焚，苦待竟日，願獻一票之力。其中，平生未嘗涉國事者，數亦不少，而今有此義舉，皆因一念不衰——今夫天下，非同既往，願發籲天之聲，必成動地之勢。
It''s the answer spoken by young and old，rid poor，Democrat and Republi，black，white，Hispanic，Asian，Native Ameri，gay，straight，disabled and not disabled．Ameris who sent a message to the world that we have never been just a colle of individuals or a colle of red states and blue states．We are，and always will be，the Uates of America．
今夕之釋然，皆仰吾國同胞之齊心——何談貧富老幼之差、黨社宗族之異，惶論髮膚肌體之別、志趣愛惡之分。吾國既以「合眾」為名，吾輩則更無疏離之意，紅藍二黨並肩而立，數十邦州挽手相合，無分你我，共稱一家，昂然於世，齊聲一呼，天下乃有此釋然。
It''s the ahat led those who''ve been told for so long by so many to be ical and fearful and doubtful about what we achieve to put their hands on the arc of history and bend it once more toward the hope of a better day．
今夕之釋然，皆因憤懣者之鎮靜，憂懼者之勇氣，猶疑者之篤定——平素世間種種，消磨其志向，潰滅其夢想，而值此風雲之際，除舊更新，當仁不讓，傾力而動乾坤者，更何人哉！
It''s been a long time ing，but tonight，because of what we did on this date in this ele at this defining moment ge has e to America．
俟之誠久，其志彌堅。幸天地明察，乃有今日，乃有此刻，乃有此一選舉，乃有我億萬美利堅大好國民——吾邦之大變革，方得自茲而始也！
A little bit earlier this evening，I received araordinarily gracious call from Sen. M．
Sen. M fought long and hard in this campaign．And he''s fought even longer and harder for the try that he loves．He has endured sacrifices for America that most of us ot begin to imagine．We are better off for the service rendered by this brave and selfless leader．I gratulate him；I gratulate Gov．Palin for all that they''ve achieved．And I look forward t with them to rehis nation''s promise in the months ahead．
頃接參議員麥君凱恩電，雖未得晤，幸有一談，其言諄諄，其意誠誠，鄙人感佩之至。選戰期內，麥君勞碌幾重，奔波幾許，皆為國家計。諸般求索，時日良多，皆非余所能及。於國於民之驚人犧牲，亦非庸庸如吾輩者所可想見。以麥君之膽魄襟懷，能為吾邦所用，實國家之幸，萬民之幸也。前途漫漫，其事未竟，余所盼矚由衷者，唯共麥凱恩君、佩林君，及諸賢士比肩，會吾等之綿力，成吾邦之大業。
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 oreets of Ston and rode with orain home to Delaware，the vice preside of the Uates，Joe Biden．
喬君拜登，亦吾所感銘至深者也。競選之業，艱險不足與外人道，幸有喬君之輔佐，其誠天可鑒之。喬君其人，素言懇辭切，意篤情真，蓋嘗經斯蘭克頓街鄉鄰之提命，飽聆特拉華州父老之晤教也。他日余既登總統之位，喬君必當副之。
And I would not be standionight 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 first lady Michelle Obama．
拙荊米氏，追隨鄙人凡一十六年，既為愛侶，更為摯友，既為吾闔家之基石，又乃余終生之至愛。鄙人嘗自忖度，倘無賢妻若此，今朝闊論高談於此處者，不知何人矣！
Sasha and Malia I love you both more than you imagine．And you have earhe new puppy that''s ing with us to the new White House．
小女薩沙、瑪麗，余素深喜之。昔日為父嘗與汝等言，此番選戰若得一勝，願購小犬一頭相贈，待闔家喬遷總統府邸之日，偕汝等同進吾宅。今當勝負已出，既有一諾在前，必自踐行不欺也。
And while she''s no longer with us，I know my grandmother''s watg，along with the family that made me who I am．I miss them tonight．I know that my debt to them is beyond measure．
祖母大人雖已仙逝，料必有靈在天，俯察人寰，想應頷首開顏矣。吾奧巴馬氏列祖列宗，亦當如是。今日今時，此情此景，鄙人追思之心，烏
