翻译考试：奥巴马在民主党代表大会接受总统提名的演讲2

　It will be a choice between two different paths for America.wｗw.ExamＷ.CoM

　　A choice between two fundamentally different visions for the future.

　　Ours is a fight to restore the values that built the largest middle class and the strongest economy the world has ever known.

　　The values my grandfather defended as a soldier in Patton’s Army; the values that drove my grandmother to work on a bomber assembly line while he was gone.

　　They knew they were part of something larger, a nation that triumphed over fascism and depression; a nation where the most innovative businesses turned out the world’s best products, and everyone shared in that pride and success, from the corner office to the factory floor.

　　My grandparents were given the chance to go to college, buy their own -- their -- their own home, and fulfill the basic bargain at the heart of America’s story: the promise that hard work will pay off; that responsibility will be rewarded; that everyone gets a fair shot, and everyone does their fair share, and everyone plays by the same rules, from Main Street to Wall Street to Washington, D.C.

　　And I ran for President because I saw that basic bargain slipping away. I began my career helping people in the shadow of a shuttered steel mill, at a time when too many good jobs were starting to move overseas. And by 2008, we had seen nearly a decade in which families struggled with costs that kept rising, but paychecks that didn’t; folks racking up more and more debt just to make the mortgage or pay tuition; put gas in the car or food on the table.

　　And when the house of cards collapsed in the Great Recession, millions of innocent Americans lost their jobs, their homes, their life savings, a tragedy from which we are still fighting to recover.

　　Now, our friends down in Tampa, at the Republican convention, were more than happy to talk about everything they think is wrong with America, but they didn’t have much to say about how they’d make it right.

　　They want your vote, but they don’t want you to know their plan. And that’s because all they had to offer is the same prescription they’ve had for the last thirty years:

　　“Have a surplus? Try a tax cut.”

　　“Deficit too high? Try another.”

　　“Feel a cold coming on? Take two tax cuts, roll back some regulations, and call us in the morning.”
