She was born just a generation past slavery; a time when there were no cars on the road or planes in the sky; when someone like her couldn’t vote for two reasons - because she was a woman and because of the color of her skin.

　　当其父辈之时，天道不彰，黑人为奴。库氏其生也不逢时，汽车尚不行于道，飞机犹未起于空，库氏既属黑人，又系妇道，票选一事，不得问焉。

　　And tonight, I think about all that she’s seen throughout her century in America - the heartache and the hope; the struggle and the progress; the times we were told that we can’t, and the people who pressed on with that American creed: Yes we can.

　　今夕此地，回溯库氏百岁之涯，但见吾邦先贤屡败屡战，且退且进，悲欣交集，甘苦杂陈。幸而正道存焉，壮志存焉，曰：吾辈既在，无所不能。

　　At a time when women’s voices were silenced and their hopes dismissed, she lived to see them stand up and speak out and reach for the ballot. Yes we can.

　　万马齐喑，其事堪哀，吾邦女界怒而起，愤而争，苦战不歇，历数十载。幸哉库氏，以百岁之高龄，终得亲见女流自立于世，重获天赋之权–吾辈既在，无所不能!

　　When there was despair in the dust bowl and depression across the land, she saw a nation conquer fear itself with a New Deal, new jobs, a new sense of common purpose. Yes we can.

　　当其壮岁，库氏曾见黄埃蔽日，百业萧条。举国悲鸣之际，吾美利坚出旷世之新政，挽狂澜于既倒，扶大厦之将倾，退畏惧之心，扶奋勇之志，终至人各有位，民心乃安——吾辈既在，无所不能!

　　When the bombs fell on our harbor and tyranny threatened the world, she was there to witness a generation rise to greatness and a democracy was saved. Yes we can.

　　当吾国良港遭袭，天下桀纣当道，暴政肆虐之时，库氏曾见豪杰群起，民主不亡——吾辈既在，无所不能!
