奥巴马演讲:一起努力，美国的明天会更好(1/3)

Hello, everybody. As 2011 comes to an end and we look ahead to 2012, I want to wish everyone a happy and healthy New Year. The last year has been a time of great challenge and great progress for our country. We ended one war and began to wind down another. We dealt a crippling blow to al-Qaeda and made America more secure. We stood by our friends and allies around the world through natural disasters and revolutions. And we began to see signs of economic recovery here at home, even as too many Americans are still struggling to get ahead. There's no doubt that 2012 will bring even more change. And as we head into the New Year, I'm hopeful that we have what it takes to face that change and come out even stronger – to grow our economy, create more jobs, and strengthen the middle class.

大家好，在这个2011到2012辞旧迎新的时刻，我想祝大家新年快乐，身体健康。 对于我们的国家，过去的一年有着许许多多的成就和挑战。我们结束了一场战争，且将要开始渐渐地的结束另一场。我们成功摧毁了基地组织，让美国变得更加安全。我们在面对自然灾害和革命斗争时受到了我们的朋友和盟友的支持， 并且即使很多美国人仍然还在苦苦挣扎中，我们开始在家乡看到了一些经济复苏的迹象。 毫无疑问2012年将会给我们带来更多的改变，并且在这个辞旧迎新时刻，我希望我们所能看到和做出的改变将会更加有力，从而来发展我们的经济，开出更多的工作岗位，并且能更加壮大我们的中产阶级。 ——译文来自: supersimon90
