Hello,Chicago!
芝城父老,别来无恙,
If there is anyone outthere who still doubts that America is a place where all things arepossible, who still wonders if the dream of our founders is alive inour time, who still questions the power of our democracy, tonight isyour 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 andchurches in numbers this nation has never seen, by people who waitedthree hours and four hours, many for the first time in their lives,because they believed that this time must be different, that theirvoices 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。

就问第三个小孩说:「你为什麽要轮椅呢?」
第三个小孩就说:「如果我爸知道我救你起来会把我的腿打断。」
