　英文原版：

　　hank you! Oh, thank you all! Thank you so very, very much.

　　It is wonderful to be here with all of you.

　　To be in New York with my family, with so many friends, including many New Yorkers who gave me the honor of serving them in the Senate for eight years.

　　To be right across the water from the headquarters of the United Nations, where I represented our country many times.

　　To be here in this beautiful park dedicated to Franklin Roosevelt’s enduring vision of America, the nation we want to be.

　　And in a place… with absolutely no ceilings.

　　You know, President Roosevelt’s Four Freedoms are a testament to our nation’s unmatched aspirations and a reminder of our unfinished work at home and abroad. His legacy lifted up a nation and inspired presidents who followed. One is the man I served as Secretary of State, Barack Obama, and another is my husband, Bill Clinton.

　　Two Democrats guided by the — Oh, that will make him so happy. They were and are two Democrats guided by the fundamental American belief that real and lasting prosperity must be built by all and shared by all.

　　President Roosevelt called on every American to do his or her part, and every American answered. He said there’s no mystery about what it takes to build a strong and prosperous America: “Equality of opportunity… Jobs for those who can work… Security for those who need it… The ending of special privilege for the few… The preservation of civil liberties for all… a wider and constantly rising standard of living.”

　　That still sounds good to me.

　　It’s America’s basic bargain. If you do your part you ought to be able to get ahead. And when everybody does their part, America gets ahead too.

　　That bargain inspired generations of families, including my own.

　　It’s what kept my grandfather going to work in the same Scranton lace mill every day for 50 years.

　　It’s what led my father to believe that if he scrimped and saved, his small business printing drapery fabric in Chicago could provide us with a middle-class life. And it did.

　　When President Clinton honored the bargain, we had the longest peacetime expansion in history, a balanced budget, and the first time in decades we all grew together, with the bottom 20 percent of workers increasing their incomes by the same percentage as the top 5 percent.

　　When President Obama honored the bargain, we pulled back from the brink of Depression, saved the auto industry, provided health care to 16 million working people, and replaced the jobs we lost faster than after a financial crash.

　　But, it’s not 1941, or 1993, or even 2009. We face new challenges in our economy and our democracy.

　　We’re still working our way back from a crisis that happened because time-tested values were replaced by false promises.

　　Instead of an economy built by every American, for every American, we were told that if we let those at the top pay lower taxes and bend the rules, their success would trickle down to everyone else.

　　What happened?

　　Well, instead of a balanced budget with surpluses that could have eventually paid off our national debt, the Republicans twice cut taxes for the wealthiest, borrowed money from other countries to pay for two wars, and family incomes dropped. You know where we ended up.

　　Except it wasn’t the end.

　　As we have since our founding, Americans made a new beginning.

　　You worked extra shifts, took second jobs, postponed home repairs… you figured out how to make it work. And now people are beginning to think about their future again – going to college, starting a business, buying a house, finally being able to put away something for retirement.

　　So we’re standing again. But, we all know we’re not yet running the way America should.

　　You see corporations making record profits, with CEOs making record pay, but your paychecks have barely budged.

　　While many of you are working multiple jobs to make ends meet, you see the top 25 hedge fund managers making more than all of America’s kindergarten teachers combined. And, often paying a lower tax rate.

　　So, you have to wonder: “When does my hard work pay off? When does my family get ahead?”

　　“When?”

　　I say now.

　　Prosperity can’t be just for CEOs and hedge fund managers.

　　Democracy can’t be just for billionaires and corporations.

　　Prosperity and democracy are part of your basic bargain too.

　　You brought our country back.

　　Now it’s time — your time to secure the gains and move ahead.

　　And, you know what?

　　America can’t succeed unless you succeed.

　　That is why I am running for President of the United States.

　　Here, on Roosevelt Island, I believe we have a continuing rendezvous with destiny. Each American and the country we cherish.

　　I’m running to make our economy work for you and for every American.

　　For the successful and the struggling.

　　For the innovators and inventors.

　　For those breaking barriers in technology and discovering cures for diseases.

　　For the factory workers and food servers who stand on their feet all day.

　　For the nurses who work the night shift.

　　For the truckers who drive for hours and the farmers who feed us.

　　For the veterans who served our country.

　　For the small business owners who took a risk.

　　For everyone who’s ever been knocked down, but refused to be knocked out.

　　I’m not running for some Americans, but for all Americans.

　　Our country’s challenges didn’t begin with the Great Recession and they won’t end with the recovery.

　　For decades, Americans have been buffeted by powerful currents.

　　Advances in technology and the rise of global trade have created whole new areas of economic activity and opened new markets for our exports, but they have also displaced jobs and undercut wages for millions of Americans.

　　The financial industry and many multi-national corporations have created huge wealth for a few by focusing too much on short-term profit and too little on long-term value… too much on complex trading schemes and stock buybacks, too little on investments in new businesses, jobs, and fair compensation.

　　Our political system is so paralyzed by gridlock and dysfunction that most Americans have lost confidence that anything can actually get done. And they’ve lost trust in the ability of both government and Big Business to change course.

　　Now, we can blame historic forces beyond our control for some of this, but the choices we’ve made as a nation, leaders and citizens alike, have also played a big role.

　　Our next President must work with Congress and every other willing partner across our entire country. And I will do just that — to turn the tide so these currents start working for us more than against us.

　　At our best, that’s what Americans do. We’re problem solvers, not deniers. We don’t hide from change, we harness it.

　　But we can’t do that if we go back to the top-down economic policies that failed us before.

　　Americans have come too far to see our progress ripped away.

　　Now, there may be some new voices in the presidential Republican choir, but they’re all singing the same old song…

　　A song called “Yesterday.”

　　You know the one — all our troubles look as though they’re here to stay… and we need a place to hide away… They believe in yesterday.

　　And you’re lucky I didn’t try singing that, too, I’ll tell you!

　　These Republicans trip over themselves promising lower taxes for the wealthy and fewer rules for the biggest corporations without regard for how that will make income inequality even worse.

　　We’ve heard this tune before. And we know how it turns out.

　　Ask many of these candidates about climate change, one of the defining threats of our time, and they’ll say: “I’m not a scientist.” Well, then, why don’t they start listening to those who are?

　　They pledge to wipe out tough rules on Wall Street, rather than rein in the banks that are still too risky, courting future failures. In a case that can only be considered mass amnesia.

　　They want to take away health insurance from more than 16 million Americans without offering any credible alternative.

　　They shame and blame women, rather than respect our right to make our own reproductive health decisions.

　　They want to put immigrants, who work hard and pay taxes, at risk of deportation.

　　And they turn their backs on gay people who love each other.

　　Fundamentally, they reject what it takes to build an inclusive economy. It takes an inclusive society. What I once called “a village” that has a place for everyone.

　　Now, my values and a lifetime of experiences have given me a different vision for America.

　　I believe that success isn’t measured by how much the wealthiest Americans have, but by how many children climb out of poverty…

　　How many start-ups and small businesses open and thrive…

　　How many young people go to college without drowning in debt…

　　How many people find a good job…

　　How many families get ahead and stay ahead.

　　I didn’t learn this from politics. I learned it from my own family.

　　My mother taught me that everybody needs a chance and a champion. She knew what it was like not to have either one.

　　Her own parents abandoned her, and by 14 she was out on her own, working as a housemaid. Years later, when I was old enough to understand, I asked what kept her going.

　　You know what her answer was? Something very simple: Kindness from someone who believed she mattered.

　　The 1st grade teacher who saw she had nothing to eat at lunch and, without embarrassing her, brought extra food to share.

　　The woman whose house she cleaned letting her go to high school so long as her work got done. That was a bargain she leapt to accept.

　　And, because some people believed in her, she believed in me.

　　That’s why I believe with all my heart in America and in the potential of every American.

　　To meet every challenge.

　　To be resilient… no matter what the world throws at you.

　　To solve the toughest problems.

　　I believe we can do all these things because I’ve seen it happen.

　　As a young girl, I signed up at my Methodist Church to babysit the children of Mexican farmworkers, while their parents worked in the fields on the weekends. And later, as a law student, I advocated for Congress to require better working and living conditions for farm workers whose children deserved better opportunities.

　　My first job out of law school was for the Children’s Defense Fund. I walked door-to-door to find out how many children with disabilities couldn’t go to school, and to help build the case for a law guaranteeing them access to education.

　　As a leader of the Legal Services Corporation, I defended the right of poor people to have a lawyer. And saw lives changed because an abusive marriage ended or an illegal eviction stopped.

　　In Arkansas, I supervised law students who represented clients in courts and prisons, organized scholarships for single parents going to college, led efforts for better schools and health care, and personally knew the people whose lives were improved.

　　As Senator, I had the honor of representing brave firefighters, police officers, EMTs, construction workers, and volunteers who ran toward danger on 9/11 and stayed there, becoming sick themselves.

　　It took years of effort, but Congress finally approved the health care they needed.

　　There are so many faces and stories that I carry with me of people who gave their best and then needed help themselves.

　　Just weeks ago, I met another person like that, a single mom juggling a job and classes at community college, while raising three kids.

　　She doesn’t expect anything to come easy. But she did ask me: What more can be done so it isn’t quite so hard for families like hers?

　　I want to be her champion and your champion.

　　If you’ll give me the chance, I’ll wage and win Four Fights for you.

　　The first is to make the economy work for everyday Americans, not just those at the top.

　　To make the middle class mean something again, with rising incomes and broader horizons. And to give the poor a chance to work their way into it.

　　The middle class needs more growth and more fairness. Growth and fairness go together. For lasting prosperity, you can’t have one without the other.

　　Is this possible in today’s world?

　　I believe it is or I wouldn’t be standing here.

　　Do I think it will be easy? Of course not.

　　But, here’s the good news: There are allies for change everywhere who know we can’t stand by while inequality increases, wages stagnate, and the promise of America dims. We should welcome the support of all Americans who want to go forward together with us.

　　There are public officials who know Americans need a better deal.

　　Business leaders who want higher pay for employees, equal pay for women and no discrimination against the LGBT community either.

　　There are leaders of finance who want less short-term trading and more long-term investing.

　　There are union leaders who are investing their own pension funds in putting people to work to build tomorrow’s economy. We need everyone to come to the table and work with us.

　　In the coming weeks, I’ll propose specific policies to:

　　Reward businesses who invest in long term value rather than the quick buck – because that leads to higher growth for the economy, higher wages for workers, and yes, bigger profits, everybody will have a better time.

　　I will rewrite the tax code so it rewards hard work and investments here at home, not quick trades or stashing profits overseas.

　　I will give new incentives to companies that give their employees a fair share of the profits their hard work earns.

　　We will unleash a new generation of entrepreneurs and small business owners by providing tax relief, cutting red tape, and making it easier to get a small business loan.

　　We will restore America to the cutting edge of innovation, science, and research by increasing both public and private investments.

　　And we will make America the clean energy superpower of the 21st century.

　　Developing renewable power – wind, solar, advanced biofuels…

　　Building cleaner power plants, smarter electric grids, greener buildings…

　　Using additional fees and royalties from fossil fuel extraction to protect the environment…

　　And ease the transition for distressed communities to a more diverse and sustainable economic future from coal country to Indian country, from small towns in the Mississippi Delta to the Rio Grande Valley to our inner cities, we have to help our fellow Americans.

　　Now, this will create millions of jobs and countless new businesses, and enable America to lead the global fight against climate change.

　　We will also connect workers to their jobs and businesses. Customers will have a better chance to actually get where they need and get what they desire with roads, railways, bridges, airports, ports, and broadband brought up to global standards for the 21st century.

　　We will establish an infrastructure bank and sell bonds to pay for some of these improvements.

　　Now, building an economy for tomorrow also requires investing in our most important asset, our people, beginning with our youngest.

　　That’s why I will propose that we make preschool and quality childcare available to every child in America.

　　And I want you to remember this, because to me, this is absolutely the most-compelling argument why we should do this. Research tells us how much early learning in the first five years of life can impact lifelong success. In fact, 80 percent of the brain is developed by age three.

　　One thing I’ve learned is that talent is universal – you can find it anywhere – but opportunity is not. Too many of our kids never have the chance to learn and thrive as they should and as we need them to.

　　Our country won’t be competitive or fair if we don’t help more families give their kids the best possible start in life.

　　So let’s staff our primary and secondary schools with teachers who are second to none in the world, and receive the respect they deserve for sparking the love of learning in every child.

　　Let’s make college affordable and available to all …and lift the crushing burden of student debt.

　　Let’s provide lifelong learning for workers to gain or improve skills the economy requires, setting up many more Americans for success.

　　Now, the second fight is to strengthen America’s families, because when our families are strong, America is strong.

　　And today’s families face new and unique pressures. Parents need more support and flexibility to do their job at work and at home.

　　I believe you should have the right to earn paid sick days.

　　I believe you should receive your work schedule with enough notice to arrange childcare or take college courses to get ahead.

　　I believe you should look forward to retirement with confidence, not anxiety.

　　That you should have the peace of mind that your health care will be there when you need it, without breaking the bank.

　　I believe we should offer paid family leave so no one has to choose between keeping a paycheck and caring for a new baby or a sick relative.

　　And it is way past time to end the outrage of so many women still earning less than men on the job — and women of color often making even less.

　　This isn’t a women’s issue. It’s a family issue. Just like raising the minimum wage is a family issue. Expanding childcare is a family issue. Declining marriage rates is a family issue. The unequal rates of incarceration is a family issue. Helping more people with an addiction or a mental health problem get help is a family issue.

　　In America, every family should feel like they belong.

　　So we should offer hard-working, law-abiding immigrant families a path to citizenship. Not second-class status.

　　And, we should ban discrimination against LGBT Americans and their families so they can live, learn, marry, and work just like everybody else.

　　You know, America’s diversity, our openness, our devotion to human rights and freedom is what’s drawn so many to our shores. What’s inspired people all over the world. I know. I’ve seen it with my own eyes.

　　And these are also qualities that prepare us well for the demands of a world that is more interconnected than ever before.

　　So we have a third fight: to harness all of America’s power, smarts, and values to maintain our leadership for peace, security, and prosperity.

　　No other country on Earth is better positioned to thrive in the 21st century. No other country is better equipped to meet traditional threats from countries like Russia, North Korea, and Iran – and to deal with the rise of new powers like China.

　　No other country is better prepared to meet emerging threats from cyber attacks, transnational terror networks like ISIS, and diseases that spread across oceans and continents.

　　As your President, I’ll do whatever it takes to keep Americans safe.

　　And if you look over my left shoulder you can see the new World Trade Center soaring skyward.

　　As a Senator from New York, I dedicated myself to getting our city and state the help we needed to recover. And as a member of the Armed Services Committee, I worked to maintain the best-trained, best-equipped, strongest military, ready for today’s threats and tomorrow’s.

　　And when our brave men and women come home from war or finish their service, I’ll see to it that they get not just the thanks of a grateful nation, but the care and benefits they’ve earned.

　　I’ve stood up to adversaries like Putin and reinforced allies like Israel. I was in the Situation Room on the day we got bin Laden.

　　But, I know — I know we have to be smart as well as strong.

　　Meeting today’s global challenges requires every element of America’s power, including skillful diplomacy, economic influence, and building partnerships to improve lives around the world with people, not just their governments.

　　There are a lot of trouble spots in the world, but there’s a lot of good news out there too.

　　I believe the future holds far more opportunities than threats if we exercise creative and confident leadership that enables us to shape global events rather than be shaped by them.

　　And we all know that in order to be strong in the world, though, we first have to be strong at home. That’s why we have to win the fourth fight – reforming our government and revitalizing our democracy so that it works for everyday Americans.

　　We have to stop the endless flow of secret, unaccountable money that is distorting our elections, corrupting our political process, and drowning out the voices of our people.

　　We need Justices on the Supreme Court who will protect every citizen’s right to vote, rather than every corporation’s right to buy elections.

　　If necessary, I will support a constitutional amendment to undo the Supreme Court’s decision in Citizens United.

　　I want to make it easier for every citizen to vote. That’s why I’ve proposed universal, automatic registration and expanded early voting.

　　I’ll fight back against Republican efforts to disempower and disenfranchise young people, poor people, people with disabilities, and people of color.

　　What part of democracy are they afraid of?

　　No matter how easy we make it to vote, we still have to give Americans something worth voting for.

　　Government is never going to have all the answers – but it has to be smarter, simpler, more efficient, and a better partner.

　　That means access to advanced technology so government agencies can more effectively serve their customers, the American people.

　　We need expertise and innovation from the private sector to help cut waste and streamline services.

　　There’s so much that works in America. For every problem we face, someone somewhere in America is solving it. Silicon Valley cracked the code on sharing and scaling a while ago. Many states are pioneering new ways to deliver services. I want to help Washington catch up.

　　To do that, we need a political system that produces results by solving problems that hold us back, not one overwhelmed by extreme partisanship and inflexibility.

　　Now, I’ll always seek common ground with friend and opponent alike. But I’ll also stand my ground when I must.

　　That’s something I did as Senator and Secretary of State — whether it was working with Republicans to expand health care for children and for our National Guard, or improve our foster care and adoption system, or pass a treaty to reduce the number of Russian nuclear warheads that could threaten our cities — and it’s something I will always do as your President.

　　We Americans may differ, bicker, stumble, and fall; but we are at our best when we pick each other up, when we have each other’s back.

　　Like any family, our American family is strongest when we cherish what we have in common, and fight back against those who would drive us apart.

　　People all over the world have asked me: “How could you and President Obama work together after you fought so hard against each other in that long campaign?”

　　Now, that is an understandable question considering that in many places, if you lose an election you could get imprisoned or exiled – even killed – not hired as Secretary of State.

　　But President Obama asked me to serve, and I accepted because we both love our country. That’s how we do it in America.

　　With that same spirit, together, we can win these four fights.

　　We can build an economy where hard work is rewarded.

　　We can strengthen our families.

　　We can defend our country and increase our opportunities all over the world.

　　And we can renew the promise of our democracy.

　　If we all do our part. In our families, in our businesses, unions, houses of worship, schools, and, yes, in the voting booth.

　　I want you to join me in this effort. Help me build this campaign and make it your own.

　　Talk to your friends, your family, your neighbors.

　　Text “JOIN” J-O-I-N to 4-7-2-4-6.

　　Go to hillaryclinton.com and sign up to make calls and knock on doors.

　　It’s no secret that we’re going up against some pretty powerful forces that will do and spend whatever it takes to advance a very different vision for America. But I’ve spent my life fighting for children, families, and our country. And I’m not stopping now.

　　You know, I know how hard this job is. I’ve seen it up close and personal.

　　All our Presidents come into office looking so vigorous. And then we watch their hair grow grayer and grayer.

　　Well, I may not be the youngest candidate in this race. But I will be the youngest woman President in the history of the United States!

　　And the first grandmother as well.

　　And one additional advantage: You’re won’t see my hair turn white in the White House. I’ve been coloring it for years!

　　So I’m looking forward to a great debate among Democrats, Republicans, and Independents. I’m not running to be a President only for those Americans who already agree with me. I want to be a President for all Americans.

　　And along the way, I’ll just let you in on this little secret. I won’t get everything right. Lord knows I’ve made my share of mistakes. Well, there’s no shortage of people pointing them out!

　　And I certainly haven’t won every battle I’ve fought. But leadership means perseverance and hard choices. You have to push through the setbacks and disappointments and keep at it.

　　I think you know by now that I’ve been called many things by many people — “quitter” is not one of them.

　　Like so much else in my life, I got this from my mother.

　　When I was a girl, she never let me back down from any bully or barrier. In her later years, Mom lived with us, and she was still teaching me the same lessons. I’d come home from a hard day at the Senate or the State Department, sit down with her at the small table in our breakfast nook, and just let everything pour out. And she would remind me why we keep fighting, even when the odds are long and the opposition is fierce.

　　I can still hear her saying: “Life’s not about what happens to you, it’s about what you do with what happens to you – so get back out there.”

　　She lived to be 92 years old, and I often think about all the battles she witnessed over the course of the last century — all the progress that was won because Americans refused to give up or back down.

　　She was born on June 4, 1919 — before women in America had the right to vote. But on that very day, after years of struggle, Congress passed the Constitutional Amendment that would change that forever.

　　The story of America is a story of hard-fought, hard-won progress. And it continues today. New chapters are being written by men and women who believe that all of us – not just some, but all – should have the chance to live up to our God-given potential.

　　Not only because we’re a tolerant country, or a generous country, or a compassionate country, but because we’re a better, stronger, more prosperous country when we harness the talent, hard work, and ingenuity of every single American.

　　I wish my mother could have been with us longer. I wish she could have seen Chelsea become a mother herself. I wish she could have met Charlotte.

　　I wish she could have seen the America we’re going to build together.

　　An America, where if you do your part, you reap the rewards.

　　Where we don’t leave anyone out, or anyone behind.

　　An America where a father can tell his daughter: yes, you can be anything you want to be. Even President of the United States.

　　Thank you all. God bless you. And may God bless America.

　　中文翻譯：

　　謝謝！呵呵，謝謝大家！非常非常感謝你們。

　　能這里跟大家在一起真美妙。

　　和我的家人來紐約，見到這么多朋友，包括很多給過我那種榮幸，讓我在參議院為他們服務八年的紐約人。

　　來到和對面聯合國總部一水之隔的地方，在那里我曾多次代表我們國家參會。

　　在這個紀念富蘭克林·羅斯福對美國經久不衰的設想的美麗的公園里，我們希望這個國家實現那種設想。

　　而在這地方......絕對沒有天花板。

　　要知道，羅斯福總統的四大自由證明了我們國家無與倫比的理想，以及對我們在國內外未成事業的提醒。他的遺產提升了整個國家，鼓舞后來的總統去遵循。其中之一是我為之擔任國務卿的奧巴馬，另一位是我的丈夫，比爾·克林頓。

　　兩個民主黨員被其引導 - （歡呼）哦，那會讓他高興死了。他們和兩個民主黨員被美國的根本信念所指導，那就是真正的和持久的繁榮必須由全體國民來建成并由全體國民來共享。

　　羅斯福總統呼吁每個美國人做他或她的一部分，每個美國人為之響應。他說，如何才能建立一個強大和繁榮的美國是沒有什么神秘的：“機會平等......為可以工作的提供職位...為需要安全的提供保障...結束少數人的特權。保護所有人的公民自由......為更廣泛的和不斷提高的生活標準”。

　　這聽起來我仍然同意。

　　這是美國的基本契約。如果你做你的那部分，你應該能夠獲得成功。當每個人都做好自己的本職工作，美國也就領先了。

　　這份契約激勵了幾代人的家庭，包括我自己的。

　　就是這，維持我爺爺每天去同一家斯克蘭頓麻紡廠工作，一干50年。

　　就是這，讓我父親堅信，如果他省吃儉用，他在芝加哥的印刷布料織物的小生意，可以為我家提供一個中產階級的生活。他做到了。

　　當克林頓總統尊重這份契約，我們有了歷史上最長的和平時期的經濟增長，平衡的預算，并在第一次在十年間，我們都一起成長，底層20％的員工收入和頂層的5％有了相同的百分比增長。

　　當奧巴馬總統尊重這份契約，我們從大蕭條的邊緣拉了回來，拯救了汽車工業，為1600萬勞動人民提供醫療保健，更新工作崗位的速度比歷史上金融危機后失去的速度還要快。

　　但是，現在不是1941年，或1993年，或甚至2009年，我們的經濟和民主面對新的挑戰。

　　我們仍在努力恢復的路上，離開那個由于時間考驗的價值觀被虛假承諾所取代而導致的危機。

　　不是通過我為人人，人人為我的建設經濟，我們反而被教唆，如果讓那些在頂部的人支付較低的稅收和扭曲規則，他們的成功將涓滴到其他人。

　　結果怎樣？

　　不是預算的平衡，盈余可能最終還清了我們的國債，而是共和黨兩次為最富有的人減稅，用從其他國家借來的錢來支付兩場戰爭，家庭收入下降。你知道，我們的結果是怎樣。

　　除非這事還沒完。

　　就像我國建國那時一樣，美國人有了一個新的開始。

　　你加班工作，打第二份工，推遲自宅維修......你絞盡腦汁平衡家庭賬本。而現在人們開始思考自己的未來 - 要上大學，創業，買房子，終于能夠攢下一些財產退休。

　　所以我們又站起來了。但是，我們都知道我們還沒有以美國應該有的方式跑起來。

　　你看到大企業創紀錄的利潤，CEO創記錄的收入，但你的薪水幾乎沒有變化。

　　雖然很多人都干幾份工作還是入不敷出，你看到前25名對沖基金經理的收入超過美國所有幼兒園教師的收入總和。而且，他們往往還支付較低的稅率。

　　所以，你不得不懷疑：“什么時候我的辛勤工作有合理回報？什么時候我的家人能獲得成功？“

　　“什么時候？”我說現在。

　　繁榮不能只限于CEO和對沖基金經理，民主不能只為富豪和企業服務，繁榮和民主也是你們基本契約的一部分。

　　你們讓國家恢復起來。現在是時候，是你們保障回報和邁向前進的時候。

　　而且，你知道嗎？

　　除非你們成功了，美國不能成功。

　　這就是為什么我競選美國總統。

　　在這里，羅斯福島，我相信我們還會繼續與命運相會。每個美國人和我們所珍視的國家。.

　　我參選總統，讓我們的經濟，為你，為每一個美國人服務。

　　為了成功者和奮斗者，為了創新者和發明家，為了那些發現打破壁壘的技術和疾病療法的人，為了整天站立工作的工廠工人和餐飲服務員，為了上夜班的護士，為了開幾個小時卡車的司機，為了養活我們的農民，為了保家衛國的退伍軍人，為了冒著風險的小企業主，為了那些曾被命運擊倒，但拒絕被淘汰的人。

　　我不是為某些美國人而參選，但是為了所有美國人。

　　我國面臨的挑戰并沒有開始于大衰退，也不會與恢復一同結束。

　　幾十年來，美國人一直在被強大的潮流所沖刷。

　　技術進步和全球貿易的興起創造了幾個完整的經濟活動新領域，開辟新的出口市場，但他們也導致工作流失和壓低數百萬美國人的工資。

　　金融業和許多跨國公司過分集中于短期利潤，太少注重長期價值，為小部分人創造了巨大的財富......太多復雜的交易機制和股票回購，太少的為新經濟新，就業和公平的補償的投資。

　　我們的政治制度因為僵局和功能障礙而陷入癱瘓，大多數美國人已經失去了信心，不相信它能實現任何事。他們已經對政府和大企業改弦易轍的能力失去信心。

　　現在，我們可以將其一部分，責怪到超出了我們的控制的歷史力量，但我們作為一個國家，領導人和公民的選擇，也起到了很大的作用。

　　我們的下一任總統必須與國會，和整個國家的所有其他愿意合作的.伙伴一起合作。我會做到這一點 - 力挽狂瀾，讓歷史潮流為我們的服務大于對我們的傷害。

　　盡我們全力，這就是美國人的方式。我們是解決問題的，而不是抵賴問題的。我們從不逃避變化，我們利用變化。

　　但是，如果我們回到之前失敗了的自上而下的經濟政策，我們不能實現成功。

　　美國人已經走得太偏，目睹我們的進步被剝奪走。

　　現在，可能共和黨總統候選人合唱團在唱一些新曲，但他們都唱同一首老歌......一首名為“昨天”的歌。

　　你們知道那首的，所有的煩惱好像都擺不脫......我們需要一個地方藏起來......他們相信活在昨天。

　　你們很幸運我沒有也試著唱出來，我實話說！

　　這些共和黨爭先恐后為富人保證低稅率，為最大的企業保證更少的規范，不考慮這將使收入差距更加雪上加霜。

　　我們以前聽說過這首曲子。而且我們知道它會導致什么。

　　問問這些候選人氣候變化問題，那是我們時代決定性的威脅之一，他們會說：“我不是科學家。”好吧，那么，他們為什么不開始聽聽那些是科學家的？

　　他們承諾消滅對華爾街的硬性規定，而不是遏制風險仍很大的銀行，這為將來的崩潰倒數計時。這種情況只能被看作是集體失憶癥。

　　他們想剝奪超過1600萬美國人的醫療保險，卻沒有提供任何可靠的替代方案。

　　他們羞辱和指責女性，而不是尊重我們的權利，讓我們為自己的生殖健康做決定。

　　他們希望把努力工作、照章納稅的移民帶入被驅逐出境的危險。

　　他們對深愛對方的同性戀人不屑一顧。

　　從根本上說，他們拒絕建設一個包容的經濟的前提。那需要一個包容的社會。我曾經稱它為“村”，那里有每個人的所在。【書《舉全村之力》】

　　現在，我的價值觀和一生的經驗給了我一個不同的美國愿景。

　　我相信成功不是由美國有多少富豪來衡量，而要看有多少孩子擺脫了貧困……

　　有多少創業公司和小企業開張并蓬勃發展，有多少年輕人去上大學而沒有淹沒在債務中，有多少人找到一份好工作，多少家庭獲得成功，并保持領先地位。我沒有從政治學到這個。我從我自己的家庭中學會的。

　　我母親告訴我，每個人都需要一個機會，一個擁護者。她知道兩者皆無是什么樣子。

　　她的親生父母拋棄了她，14歲，她自己琢磨出如何生存，打工當保姆。多年以后，當我長大懂事，我問她是什么讓她堅持下去。

　　你知道她的回答是什么？很簡單的事情：是對她有信心的旁人的好意。

　　一年級的老師看見她沒有吃午餐，并沒有難為她，而是帶來了額外的食物來分享。

　　雇她打掃的女主人，讓她去讀高中，只要她的工作能做完。這份契約她愉悅的接受了。

　　而且，因為有些人對她有信心，她對我有信心。

　　這就是為什么我全心全意地有信心，相信美國和每個美國人的潛力，去迎接每一個挑戰，堅韌不拔……不管世界丟給你什么。

　　去解決最棘手的問題。

　　我相信我們可以做所有這些事，因為我已經看到成果。

　　當我還是年輕的女孩，我報名參加了我的衛理公會照看墨西哥農場工人孩子的工作，而他們的父母則在周末下地干活。后來，作為一個法律系學生，我號召國會，為農民工創造更好的工作和生活條件和他們的子女應的有更好機會。

　　法學院畢業，我的第一份工作是在兒童保護基金會。我挨家挨戶去找，看有多少殘疾兒童不能上學，并參與幫助起草法律，保障他們受教育的機會。

　　作為法律服務公司的領導，我捍衛窮人也有辯護律師的權利。看見因為一些虐待的婚姻結束或非法驅逐的停止，所帶來的生活改善。

　　在阿肯色州，我監督在法庭和監獄做代理律師的法律系學生，組織單親家長上大學的獎學金，帶領爭取更好學校和醫療保健的努力，結識生活得到了改善的那些人。

　　作為參議員，我有幸代表在911事件中跑向危險的，勇敢的消防隊員、警察、急救人員、建筑工人和志愿者，他們不下火線，讓自己落下疾病。

　　花了多年的努力，但國會最終批準了他們所需要的醫療保健。

　　有這么多的面孔和故事，我滿懷在心。他們付出了最好的自己，同時自己也需要幫助。

　　就在幾個星期前，我遇到了另一位那樣的人，一位單親媽媽，在社區大學和工作之間周旋，同時撫養三個孩子。

　　她不指望什么能來得容易。但她問我：還有什么可以去做，能讓像她那樣的家庭不過于困難？

　　我想成為她的擁護者，你們的擁護者。

　　如果你們給我機會，我會發動并贏得四場斗爭。

　　首先是使經濟為日常美國人服務，而不僅僅是為那些社會頂層的。

　　使中產階層再次恢復意義，伴隨收入的增加和更廣闊的視野。并給予窮人一個機會，讓他們以自己的方式工作到中產。

　　中產階層需要更多的成長和更多的公平性。成長性和公平性一起。為了持久的繁榮，你不能只有一個而忽略另一個。

　　在今天的世界，這可能嗎？

　　我相信這可能，否則我就不會站在這里。

　　我認為這會容易嗎？當然不會。

　　但是，有個好消息：變化的幫手無處不在，他們知道，我們不能袖手旁觀，讓不平等增加，工資停滯，讓美國的諾言變暗。我們應該歡迎想要與我們一起前進的所有美國人的支持。

　　有公職人員，知道美國人需要一個更好的契約。

　　有工商界領袖，為員工爭取高工資，支持男女同工同酬，反對對LGBT社群的歧視。

　　有投資界領袖，想要更少的短線交易和更多長期投資。

　　有工會領袖，投資工會的養老基金，讓人們有工作，共創明天的經濟。我們需要大家來參與討論，與我們合作。

　　在接下來的幾周，我會提出具體的政策：

　　獎勵投資于長期的價值，而不是急功近利的企業 - 因為這會導致較高的經濟增長，更高的工人工資，是的，更大的利潤，每個人都會有受益。

　　我會重寫稅法，獎勵國內的辛勤工作和投資，而不是獎勵快速交易或將利潤積攢海外。

　　我會給那些將利潤的公平份額拿出補償員工辛勤工作的企業，新的激勵機制。

　　我們將通過提供稅收減免，減少繁文縟節，使其更容易獲得小企業貸款，來釋放的新一代企業家和小企業主。

　　我們將恢復美國創新，占領科學和研究的前沿，通過增加公共和私人的科研投資。

　　我們將讓美國在21世紀成為清潔能源超級大國。

　　發展可再生能源 - 風能、太陽能、先進生物燃料...

　　建設更加清潔的電廠，更智能的電網，更綠色的建筑...

　　使用從化石燃料的開采收取的附加費和特許權使用費，來保護環境......

　　緩解貧困社區的過渡階段困難，過渡到一個更加多樣化和可持續的經濟未來，從產煤鄉村到印第安人鄉村，從密西西比三角洲的小城鎮到奧格蘭德河谷再到我們的城市舊中心區，我們必須幫助我們美國同胞們。

　　現在，這將創造數百萬就業機會和無數新的企業，并使美國領導全球應對氣候變化的斗爭。

　　我們也將員工連接到他們的工作和企業。客戶將有更好的機會來真正得到他們需要的和奢求的，通過將道路，鐵路，橋梁，機場，港口和寬帶提高到21世紀的全球標準。

　　我們將建立基礎設施銀行，并出售債券來支付其中的一些改造項目。

　　現在，建設明天的經濟，還需要投資于我們最重要的資產，我們的人民，從年齡最小的開始。

　　這就是為什么我建議大家讓幼兒園和高質量的保育，提供給美國的每個孩子。

　　我希望你們能記住這一點，因為對我來說，這絕對是最有說服力的理由，證明為什么我們應該這樣做。研究告訴我們，在生命第一個五年的很多早期學習，將如何影響終身的成功。事實上，80％的大腦的是在3歲時開發的。

　　有一件事我學到的是，潛力是普遍存在的 - 你可以在任何地方找到它 - 但機會卻并非如此。我們太多的孩子永遠沒有機會學習和成長，錯過他們應該和我們需要他們達到的。

　　如果我們不幫助更多的家庭，給他們孩子的生活一個最好的開始，我們的國家就沒有競爭力或公平。

　　因此，讓我們給我們的中小學雇傭世界上首屈一指的教師，并讓激發每個孩子對學習的熱愛的他們，獲得應得的尊重。

　　讓我們上得起大學，并提供給所有人機會......減輕學生債務的沉重負擔。

　　我們提供工人終身學習機會，來獲得提升經濟需要的技能，為更多美國人的成功打基礎。

　　現在，第二場斗爭是為了加強美國的家庭，因為當我們的家庭都很強大，美國就強大。

　　而今天的家庭面臨著新的和獨特的壓力。家長需要更多的支持和靈活性，以做好本職工作，不論是在公司還是在家庭。

　　我相信你們應該享有帶薪病假的權利。

　　我相信你們應該得到足夠早的工作日程安排通知，讓你們能安排托兒或參加大學課程，來獲得成功。

　　我相信你們應該有期待退休的信心，而不是焦慮。

　　你們應該有平和的心態，知道當你們需要它時，醫療保健將在那里，你們不會因病破產。

　　我相信我們應該提供帶薪探親假，這樣沒人被迫在保持工作和照顧新的嬰兒或患病的親屬之間進行選擇。

　　早已過了結束可憎的工資不均的時間，許多婦女仍然賺得比干同樣工作的男人工資少（歡呼聲，掌聲） - 有色人種婦女往往賺得更少。

　　這不是一個婦女議題。這是個家庭議題。就像提高最低工資標準是一個家庭議題那樣。擴大托兒服務是一個家庭議題。下滑的結婚率是一個家庭議題。監禁的比例不平等是一個家庭議題。幫助更多成癮或有精神健康問題的人尋求幫助，是一個家庭議題。

　　在美國，每個家庭都應該有歸屬感。

　　因此，我們應該提供勤奮、守法移民家庭獲取公民身份的途徑。而不是二等公民地位。

　　而且，我們應該禁止對LGBT美國人和他們的家庭的歧視，使他們只是像其他人一樣生活，學習，結婚，工作。

　　要知道，美國的多樣性，我們的開放性，我們對人權和自由的信奉是吸引這么多人來我們海岸的原因。這鼓舞遍布世界各地的人。我知道的，我是親眼所見。

　　而這些也是讓我們能準備好的特質，來面對比以往任何時候都更加相互關聯的世界的需求。

　　因此，我們有第三個斗爭：要利用所有的美國的力量、智慧和價值，以保持我們對和平、安全和繁榮的領導。

　　地球上沒有任何其他國家能夠更好地在21世紀蓬勃發展。沒有任何其他國家能更好地面對像俄羅斯，朝鮮，伊朗等國家的傳統威脅 - 以及處理中國等新興大國的崛起。

　　沒有任何其他國家更好地準備，來面對新出現的威脅，從網絡攻擊，跨國恐怖網絡，例如ISIS，到跨越海洋和大陸的傳播的疾病。

　　作為你們的總統，我會盡一切努力保持美國的安全。

　　如果你看我身后，你可以看到新的世界貿易中心在天空翱翔。

　　作為一個來自紐約的參議員，我全身心地投入到讓我們的城市和國家得到恢復所需幫助的努力。而作為軍事委員會的成員，我努力保持最訓練有素，裝備最好，最強的軍隊，應對今天的和明天的威脅。

　　而當我們勇敢的男人和女人從戰爭中完成他們的任務回家，我會去關注，保證他們得到的不只是感恩的民族的感謝，還有他們應得的照顧和福利。

　　我曾勇敢地面對像普京那樣的對手，增強和例如以色列盟友的關系。在我們抓到本·拉登當天，我就在白宮戰略室。

　　但是，我知道 - 我知道我們必須要聰明和堅強。

　　面對當今全球性挑戰，需要美國力量的每一個元素，包括熟練的外交、經濟影響力，以及建立伙伴關系，以改善世界各地人們的生活，而不僅僅是他們的政府。

　　在世界上有很多麻煩的熱點地區，但也有很多利好消息。

　　我相信未來擁有比威脅遠遠更多的機會，如果我們運用創造性和自信的領導力，使我們能夠塑造全球性事件，而不是被它們所左右。

　　大家都知道，為了在世界上強大，我們首先必須要在國內強大。這就是為什么我們必須要贏得第四場斗爭 - 改革我們的政府和振興我們的民主，使其適用于日常美國人。

　　我們必須停止秘密的不負責任的流不盡的資金扭曲選舉，破壞政治進程，并淹沒我們人民的心聲。

　　我們需要的最高法院法官，將會保護每一個公民的投票權，而不是每個公司的選舉購買權。

　　如果有必要，我會支持一項憲法修正案，取消最高法院在聯合公民案的判決。

　　我想讓每個公民的投票更加容易。這就是為什么我建議了全民的自動選民注冊和擴大提前投票。

　　我會反擊共和黨弱化和邊緣化年輕人，窮人，殘疾人，和有色人種的努力。

　　民主的哪一部分，讓他們害怕？

　　無論我們讓投票多么容易，我們還是得給美國人些值得投票的東西。

　　政府永遠不會知道所有的答案 - 但它必須更聰明，更簡單，更高效，成為更好的合作伙伴。

　　這意味著，獲得先進技術，使政府機構可以更有效地服務客戶——美國人民。

　　我們需要的專業知識和來自私營部門的創新，以幫助減少浪費，并簡化服務。

　　在美國有很多好點子。我們面臨的每一個問題，都有人在美國某個地方在解決。硅谷很久以前就破解了共享和傳播的密碼。許多州正在開拓新的方式來提供服務。我想幫助華盛頓來追趕上。

　　為了做到這一點，我們需要通過產生結果來解決阻擋我們的問題，而不是一個極端的黨派紛爭和不靈活的政治制度。

　　現在，我會一直尋求與朋友和對手的共同點。但我必須堅持我的立場時，我會這樣做。

　　這是我做參議員和國務卿時的工作 - 無論是與共和黨人合作，以擴大兒童保健，還有國民警衛隊，或改善我們的寄養和收養制度，或通過條約，以減少可能威脅到我們的城市的俄羅斯核彈頭的數量，這些工作，我當你們的總統時也會一直做。

　　我們美國人可能會有所不和、斗嘴、失誤和跌倒；但當我們互相援救時，當我們互相扶持時，我們在展現最好的一面。

　　就像任何家庭，我們的美國家庭是最強健的，當我們珍惜所擁有的共同點，并反擊那些試圖將我們分裂的。

　　世界各地的人們都問我：“在你們在那次長時間的競選反目成仇之后，你和奧巴馬總統怎么能在一起工作？”

　　現在，這是一個可以理解的問題，考慮到在世界很多地方，如果你輸了選舉，你可能被監禁或流放 - 甚至喪命 - 而不是被聘任為國務卿

　　但是奧巴馬總統要求我為國效力，我接受了，因為我們都熱愛我們的國家。這就是我們在美國的做事方式。

　　有了這樣的精神，共同努力，我們才能贏得這四場斗爭。

　　我們可以建立辛勤工作得到回報的經濟。

　　我們可以加強我們的家庭。

　　我們可以保衛我們的國家，并增加我們在世界各地的機會。

　　我們可以更新我們民主的承諾。

　　如果我們都盡自己的力量。在我們的家庭，在我們的公司，在工會，在教堂，學校，是的，在投票站。

　　我希望你能加入我的這個努力。幫助我建立這場競選，變成你們自己的運動。

　　告訴你的朋友，你的家人，你的鄰居。

　　編輯短信“加盟”J-O-I-N發到4-7-2-4-6。

　　登錄hillaryclinton.com注冊參與來撥打電話和上門活動。

　　那不是個秘密，我們要反對一些非常強大的力量，他們將做出和花費一切來推進一個非常不同的美國愿景。但是，我已經花費一生為兒童，家庭和我們的國家斗爭。現在我也不會停止。

　　你要知道，我清楚這份工作有多難。我已經近距離和私密地領教過了。

　　我們每位總統去辦公室都這么生機勃勃。然后，我們看著他們的頭發變得灰白更灰白。

　　好吧，我可能不是這場大選中最年輕的候選人。但我會成為美國歷史上最年輕的女總統！

　　以及第一位奶奶總統。

　　有個額外的好處：你不會看到我的頭發在白宮變白。好幾年來我一直在染發呢！

　　所以我期待和民主黨人、共和黨人和無黨派人士有場偉大的辯論。我不是只為那些已經贊同我的美國人來競選總統。我是想為所有美國人來競選總統。

　　順便，我讓你們知道這個小秘密。我不可能一直都正確。上帝知道我做過我那份兒錯誤。嗯，到處不乏指出它們的人！

　　我當然沒有贏得每一場我爭取的斗爭。但是，領導力意味著毅力和艱難的選擇。你必須克服挫折和失望，并堅持下去。

　　我想你們知道，現在，我已經被被很多人稱為很多稱號 - “逃兵”是不是其中之一。

　　就像在我的生活其他如此多的東西，我是從我的母親學到這一點。

　　當我小時候，她從來不讓我在任何欺凌或困難面前退縮。在她的晚年，媽媽和我們住在一起，她還在教我同樣的教訓。我從參議院或國務院勞累了一天回家，與她在小桌子坐下來吃早餐，她只是讓我把一切都傾述出來。她會提醒我，為什么我們繼續斗爭，即使在面對渺茫的機會和激烈的反對時。

　　我仍然能聽到她在說：“生活不是發生在你身上的事，而是你面對發生在你身上的事的所作所為 - 所以回去繼續努力。”

　　她活到92歲高齡，而每每想到她見證的上個世紀的斗爭過程 - 這一切贏得的進步，是因為美國人拒絕放棄或退縮。

　　她出生于1919年6月4日 - 在美國婦女擁有投票權以前。但經過多年的奮斗，就在那一天，國會通過了憲法修正案，永遠改變那種狀況。

　　美國的故事是一場惡戰，來之不易的進步的故事。并一直持續到今天。新的篇章正被男人和女人書寫，他們相信我們所有人 - 不僅僅是一些人，但是所有人 - 應該擁有發揮我們天賦潛能的機會。

　　這不僅是因為我們是一個寬容的國家，或一個慷慨的國家，還是一個富有同情心的國家，也因為我們是一個更好的，更強大，更繁榮的國家，只要我們利用每一個美國人的天賦，勤奮和聰明才智。

　　我希望我的媽媽能伴隨我們更長的時間。我希望她能看到切爾西自己成為一個母親。我希望她能見到夏洛特。

　　我希望她能看到我們要共同建設的美國。

　　在這個美國，如果你做你的部分，你獲得的回報。

　　在這里我們不會讓任何人出局，或拋棄任何人。

　　在這個美國，父親能告訴女兒：是的，你可以成為你想成成為的一切，甚至是美國總統。

　　謝謝大家。上帝保佑你們。愿上帝保佑美國。
