乔君拜登，余所铭感至深者也。竞选之业，艰辛不足与外人道，幸得乔君襄助，乃竟其功。乔君其人，素言恳辞切，意笃情真，盖斯克兰顿乡邻之提命，特拉华州父老之晤教，俱萦怀在心，未尝忘却也。余蒙不弃，叨居总统之位，愿以天下相累，乔君慨然相允，幸何如之!

　　And I would not be standing here tonight 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 next first lady Michelle Obama.

　　拙荆罗氏，鸿案相庄凡一十六载，既为爱侣，更称挚友，既是吾阖家之基石，又系余毕生之至爱。鄙人尝自忖度，倘无贤妻若此，今朝阔论于斯者，不知何人矣!

　　Sasha and Malia I love you both more than you can imagine. And you have earned the new puppy that’s coming with us to the new White House.

　　小女萨沙、玛丽，余素深喜之。余尝言，愿购小犬一头相赠，待阖家乔迁总统府邸之日，相携同进吾宅。今当胜负已出，既有一诺在前，必自践行不欺也。

　　And while she’s no longer with us, I know my grandmother’s watching, along with the family that made me who I am. I miss them tonight. I know that my debt to them is beyond measure.

　　外祖母大人虽已仙逝，料必有灵在天，俯察人寰，定颔首开颜矣。吾奥巴马氏列祖列宗，亦必如是。今日今时，鄙人追思之心，乌鸟之情，曷其有极!唯生死陌路，仙凡永隔，虽怀反哺之心，而无答报之门也!

　　To my sister Maya, my sister Alma, all my other brothers and sisters, thank you so much for all the support that you’ve given me. I am grateful to them.

　　至若玛雅、艾玛二姊妹并吾家诸同胞，所惠余者，更不胜言，久蒙调护，此当拜谢。

　　And to my campaign manager, David Plouffe, the unsung hero of this campaign, who built the best - the best political campaign, I think, in the history of the United States of America. To my chief strategist David Axelrod who’s been a partner with me every step of the way. To the best campaign team ever assembled in the history of politics, you made this happen, and I am forever grateful for what you’ve sacrificed to get it done.
