名人励志英语演讲 第78期:我放弃了 但我会继续战斗(12)

 　　To those--to those who are disappointed that we couldn't go all of the way, especially the young people who put so much into this campaign, it would break my heart if, in falling short of my goal, I in any way discouraged any of you from pursuing yours. Always aim high, work hard, and care deeply about what you believe in. And, when you stumble, keep faith. And, when you're knocked down, get right back up and never listen to anyone who says you can't or shouldn't go on.

　　对于为我们没能走完全程而失望的人，特别是倾注了大量心血的年轻人，我在目标未实现之际出局，而如果我从某种程度上使你们放弃追求，那才是真正令我心碎的。永远持着远大的目标，努力工作，坚定地关注你所深信的。当你遇到障碍时，要有信心，当你跌倒时，立刻爬起来，不要听信任何人所谓的你不行，、不要继续下去的说法。

　　As we gather here today in this historic, magnificent building, the 50th woman to leave this Earth is orbiting overhead. If we can blast 50 women into space, we will someday launch a woman into the White House.

　　正当我们今天聚集在这历史悠久、富丽堂皇的建筑物之际，世界上第50位飞向太空的女性正在我们头上按轨道运行。如果我们能将50位女性送入太空，总有一天我们也能将一位女性送入白宫。

　　Although we weren't able to shatter that highest, hardest glass ceiling this time, thanks to you, it's got about 18 million cracks in it--and the light is shining through like never before, filling us all with the hope and the sure knowledge that the path will be a little easier next time.

　　尽管我们此时此刻不能粉碎那高悬坚硬的天花板，但托你们的福，它上面几经有了1800万条裂缝。前所未有的光明从中渗入，照亮我们，带着希望和定论——下一次道路会平坦得多。
