星期四可能是全球人類都有着相同情緒的一天,雖然未必人人也認同希拉里的政治觀及作事風格。但她承認落敗的演說牽動著很多人的情緖,甚至被感動到落淚。無容置疑的是,即使她輸掉了選舉,但從她演講一字一言來看,仍是充滿總統的氣勢。縱然希拉里未能成為美國史上第一位女總統,但她帶給世人,尤其是女性們的訊息仍是相當的激勵人心,更在這次落敗演說中表露無遺,就讓我們回帶當中五句令人動容,最有啟發性的金句!
我經歷過成功及失敗,有時頗痛苦,很多人仍在你們事業、公共及政治生涯的開端,你也會有成功及失敗。這次失敗是痛苦的,請永遠不要停止為你所相信的、對的、值得的抗爭。那是值得的。 (I've had successes and setbacks and sometimes painful ones. Many of you are at the beginning of your professional, public, and political careers — you will have successes and setbacks too.)
我們需要你繼續為餘下的人生抗爭,尤其是在是次選舉相信我的年輕女性,我為能夠成為你們的心目中的冠軍感到自豪。 (we need you to keep up these fights now and for the rest of your lives. And to all the women, and especially the young women, who put their faith in this campaign and in me: I want you to know that nothing has made me prouder than to be your champion.)
我們尚有一些難關尚未闖過,但相信終有一天我們可以。 (Now, I know we have still not shattered that highest and hardest glass ceiling, but someday someone will — and hopefully sooner than we might think right now.)
所有聽到講話的年輕女子,不要質疑你們的能力,你們應該盡力追求自己的夢想。 (And to all of the little girls who are watching this, never doubt that you are valuable and powerful and deserving of every chance and opportunity in the world to pursue and achieve your own dreams.)
我相信所有人都可走在一起,和而不同,一同熱愛國家,締結美好將來,相信我們可更強大,繼續向前走。朋友,不要失去信念,還有很多事要做。 (I count my blessings every single day that I am an American, and I still believe, as deeply as I ever have, that if we stand together and work together with respect for our differences, strengthen our convictions, and love for this nation, our best days are still ahead of us.)
