大卫·普劳夫君，大卫·阿克塞罗德君，一为鄙人竞选事务之经理，一为鄙人国事韬略之智囊。余尝自喟叹，左右运筹之士，皆亘古未见之贤才。普阿二君，则更此中翘楚。区区不才，有何德能，可得数公鼎力襄助若此?当此功成之际，感荷之心，亦自拳拳。

　　But above all, I will never forget who this victory truly belongs to. It belongs to you. It belongs to you.

　　至于鄙人铭之肺腑，寤寐不敢忘怀者，诚诸位也。盖今日鄙人之胜绩，实诸位之胜绩，鄙人之荣光，实诸位之荣光!

　　I was never the likeliest candidate for this office. We didn’t start with much money or many endorsements. Our campaign was not hatched in the halls of Washington. It began in the backyards of Des Moines and the living rooms of Concord and the front porches of Charleston. It was built by working men and women who dug into what little savings they had to give $5 and $10 and $20 to the cause.

　　余素朴陋，虽有参选之心，并无必胜之志。谋事之初，银资乏匮，从者寥寥;起事之地，皆蔽寓荒斋，不在高阁;成事之基，无非寻常百姓，升斗之献。

　　It grew strength from the young people who rejected the myth of their generation’s apathy who left their homes and their families for jobs that offered little pay and less sleep. It drew strength from the not-so-young people who braved the bitter cold and scorching heat to knock on doors of perfect strangers, and from the millions of Americans who volunteered and organized and proved that more than two centuries later a government of the people, by the people, and for the people has not perished from the Earth. This is your victory.

　　幸得一众热血青年，抛其家，别其室，不辞其苦，不计其酬，矻矻于此，方得今日之胜。“国中青年爱国之心已泯”之谬论，今可休矣!幸有壮志未已之诸前辈，无惧寒暑，行走奔波，劝说民众，乃竟今日之功。今日之胜，诚数百万美利坚民众之胜也。察其意，皆属踊跃为国，观其行，处处谨严有序，足堪告慰二百年前开国之先贤——民有、民治、民享之政体，未尝动摇也!嗟夫!此实诸位之功也!
