In his own life, Barack Obama has lived the American Dream. As a community organizer, in the state senate, as a United States senator--he has dedicated himself to ensuring the dream is realized. And in this campaign, he has inspired so many to become involved in the democratic process and invested in our common future.

Barack Obama的一生都在追求美国梦（专指“人人都能追求富裕、自由，机会均等”）。从一个社区组织人做起，到国会参议院，再到美国参议员，每走下的一步都确保着梦的实现。这次竞选中，他鼓励很多人参与到民主进程中来，并激励他们为我们共同的将来出力献策。

Now, when I started this race, I intended to win back the White House, and make sure we have a president who puts our country back on the path to peace, prosperity and progress. And that's exactly what we're going to do by ensuring that Barack Obama walks through the doors of the Oval Office on Jan. 20, 2009.

当我开始竞选时，我的目的就只有一个，那就是赢回白宫，保证我们中走出一名总统，把我们的国家带回到和平，繁荣和发展的轨道上来。这就是我们为什么要力挺奥巴马2009年1月20日入主椭形办公室的原因。

I understand that we all know this has been a tough fight. The Democratic Party is a family, and it's now time to restore the ties that bind us together and to come together around the ideals we share, the values we cherish and the country we love.

现在，我明白，我明白这将会是一场艰难的斗争，但民主党本身是一家的。现在，正是时候，重新拉上把我们绑在一起的纽带，为我们同样的理想，珍视的价值，热爱的祖国而献身吧。

We may have started on separate journeys--but today, our paths have merged. And we are all heading toward the same destination, united and more ready than ever to win in November and to turn our country around, because so much is at stake.

我们曾经殊途，但今日终于同归！我们朝同一目标前进，为了赢得11月的选举，我们更加团结，更加胸有成竹，看看我们的国家，因为这一切早已刻不容缓！
