Former(前任的) President Bill Clinton's（克林顿） remarks（言论） to the

Democratic（民主的）National（国）Convention（大会）（即民主党大会）, as prepared

for delivery（投递，交货）（即准备稿）. Clinton veered（转向） from these prepared

（预先准备） remarks（言论） multiple（众多）times throughout（贯穿） his speech.

We're here to nominate（提名）a President, and I've got one in mind.

I want to nominate（提名）a man whose own life（自己的生活中） has known

（就已经知道） its fair share of（公平的份额） adversity（逆境，引申困难） and

uncertainty（不确定）.

A man who ran for（竞选，过去时） President to change the course（过程） of

an already weak economy and then just six weeks before the election（选举）, saw

it suffer the biggest collapse（崩溃） since the Great（大） Depression（萧条）.

A man who stopped the slide（滑） into depression（萧条） and put us on the

long road to recovery（复原）, knowing all the while(始终知道，倒装） that no matter

how many jobs were created and saved, there were still millions more waiting,

trying to feed（养活） their children and keep their hopes alive.

I want to nominate（提名） a man cool（冷静）on the outside but burning（燃

烧） for America on the inside.

A man who believes we can build a new American Dream economy driven by

innovation（改革）and creativity（创造性）, education and cooperation（合作）.

A man who had the good sense（明智的）to marry Michelle Obama.

I want Barack Obama to be the next President of the United States and I

proudly（自豪地） nominate him as the standard bearer（旗手，引申领袖） of the

Democratic Party（民主党）.

In Tampa（坦帕）, we heard a lot of talk about how the President and the

Democrats（民主党人）don't believe in free enterprise（企业）and individual（个人

的）initiative（主动权，引申积极性）, how we want everyone to be dependent（依

赖）on the government, how bad we are for the Republican（共和党）

narrative（叙述） is that all of us who amount to anything are completely（完全地）

self-made（白手起家）. One of our greatest（最大的）Democratic（民主党） Chairmen

（主席）, Bob Strauss, used to say that every politician（政治家） wants you to

believe he was born in a log（伐木） cabin（小屋） he built himself, but it ain't so.

（但事实并非如此）

We Democrats（民主党人）think the country works better with a strong middle

（中产）class（阶级）, real opportunities for poor people to work their way into it and

a relentless（无情的）focus on the future, with business and government working

together to promote（促进）growth（增长）and broadly shared prosperity（繁荣，

引申共同富裕）. We think "we're all in this together（我们一起来）" is a better

philosophy（哲学）than "you're on your own（你走你的路）."Who's right? Well since

1961, the Republicans（共和党人）have held the White House 28 years, the

Democrats 24. In those 52 years, our economy produced 66 million private sector

（部门）jobs（工作）. What's the jobs score（成绩）? Republicans（共和党人）24 million,
