特朗普的大女兒伊萬卡的助選演講
Good evening. Thank you.One year ago, I introduced my father when hedeclared his candidacy. In his own way, and through his own sheer force of will,he sacrificed greatly to enter the political arena as an outsider. And heprevailed against afield of 16 very talented competitors.For more than a year,Donald Trump has been the people’s champion, and tonight he’s the people’snominee.
晚上好!一年前，當(dāng)他宣布參選，我介紹過我的父親。作為一個(gè)局外人，他以自己的方式，通過自己純粹的意志力為進(jìn)入政治領(lǐng)域做出了巨大的犧牲，戰(zhàn)勝了16位才華橫溢的競(jìng)爭(zhēng)對(duì)手。一年多來，唐納德·川普一直是人民的冠軍。今晚，他是人民的總統(tǒng)提名人。
Like many of my following millennial, I do not consider myselfcategorically Republican or Democrat. More than party affiliation, I vote onbased on what I believe is right, for my family and for my country. Sometimesit’s a tough choice. That is not the case this time. As the proud daughter ofyour nominee, I am here to tell you that this is the moment and Donald Trump isthe person to make America great again.
和許多千禧一代的同齡人一樣，我并不斷然地將自己歸為共和黨或民主黨人。我超越黨派之爭(zhēng)，根據(jù)是否有利于我的家庭和國(guó)家而投票。有時(shí)，這是一個(gè)艱難的選擇。然而，這次并非如此。作為你總統(tǒng)提名人的女兒，我在這里要自豪地告訴你，此時(shí)此刻，唐納德·川普是能讓美國(guó)再次偉大的那個(gè)人!
Real change, the kind we have not seen in decades is only going to comefrom outside the system. Andit’s only going to come from a man who’s spent hisentire life doing what others said could not be done. My father is a fighter.When the primaries got tough and they were tough, he did what any great leaderdoes. He dug deeper,worked harder, got better and became stronger.
真正的變化——我們幾十年未見的那種——只會(huì)來自于系統(tǒng)外部，來自于把整個(gè)生命用來做別人說不能做的事情的人身上。我的父親是一名斗士。當(dāng)初選艱難的時(shí)候——當(dāng)對(duì)手強(qiáng)悍時(shí)!——他做了偉大領(lǐng)導(dǎo)人所做的事：他深耕細(xì)作、勤奮努力，漸入佳境、越戰(zhàn)越勇。
I have seen him fight for his family. I have seen him fight for hisemployees. I have seen him fight for his company. And now, I am seeing him fightfor our country. It’s been the story of his life and more recently the spirit ofhis campaign. It’s also a prelude to reaching the goal that unites us all. Whenthis party and better still this country knows what it is like to win again.
我見過他為家人而戰(zhàn)、為員工而戰(zhàn)、為公司而戰(zhàn)，現(xiàn)在我看到他正為我們的國(guó)家而戰(zhàn)!這是他一生的故事，也是近期他競(jìng)選的精神。這也是當(dāng)這個(gè)黨——甚至這個(gè)國(guó)家——再一次想品嘗勝利的滋味，從而實(shí)現(xiàn)團(tuán)結(jié)所有人目標(biāo)的前奏。
If it’s possible to be famous and yet not really well done, that describesthe father who raised me.In the same office in Trump Tower, where we now worktogether, I remember playing on the floor by my father’s desk, constructingminiature buildings with Legos and Erector sets, while he did the same withconcrete steel and glass.
我的父親名聲在外，但又不是眾所周知，這就是養(yǎng)育我的父親。在川普大廈我們現(xiàn)在一起工作的一間辦公室里，我還記得曾在父親辦公桌旁的地板上玩耍，用樂高和建設(shè)者積木搭建微型建筑，而他用混凝土、鋼鐵和玻璃建造他的建筑。
One of my father’s greatest talents is the ability to see potential inpeople, before they see it in themselves. It was like that for us to growing up.He taught us that potential vanishes into nothing without effort.
我父親最大的天賦在于他能看到不同人的才華，甚至有些時(shí)候這些人都不知道自己有這樣的才華。就像他對(duì)我們的教育一樣。他告訴我們?cè)俸玫奶熨x如果不加上適當(dāng)?shù)挠?xùn)練也會(huì)變得一文不值。
And like him, we each had responsibility to work, not just for ourselvesbut for the betterment of the world around us. Over the years, on too manyoccasions to count, I saw my father tear stories out of the newspaper aboutpeople whom he had never met,who were facing some injustice or hardship. He’dwrite a note to his assistant, in a signature black felt tip pen, and requestthat the person be found and invited to Trump Tower to meet with him. He wouldtalk to them and then draw upon his extensive network to find them a job or getthem a break.And they would leave his office, as people so often do after havingbeen with Donald Trump, feeling that life could be great again.
他還教導(dǎo)我們，要像他一樣，我們每個(gè)人不僅要為自己工作，也要為了我們身邊的世界變得更加美好而努力，這是我們的責(zé)任。多年來，在太多次場(chǎng)合，我看到父親撕掉報(bào)紙上關(guān)于一些他從未謀面人的故事，他們正面遭受不公或面臨困境。他會(huì)用簽名專用黑色氈尖鋼筆給助理寫個(gè)便條，要求助理找到此人并邀請(qǐng)他到川普大廈與其見面。他會(huì)與他們交談，然后利用自己龐大的關(guān)系網(wǎng)為他們找份工作或讓他們時(shí)來運(yùn)轉(zhuǎn)。當(dāng)這些人離開他的辦公室時(shí)，他們往往像那些曾與川普會(huì)過面的人一樣，覺得生活可以再次回歸正軌。
Throughout my entire life,I have witnessed his empathy and generositytowards other, especially those who are suffering. It is just his way of beingin your corner when you’re down. My father not only has the strength and abilitynecessary to be our next President, but also the kindness and compassion thatwill enable him to be the leader that this country needs.
在我的整個(gè)生命中，我目睹了他對(duì)別人的同情和慷慨，尤其是對(duì)處于困境中的人。這是當(dāng)你困頓時(shí)他支持你的方式。我父親不僅具有成為下一任總統(tǒng)所需的魄力和能力，也具有善良和同情心，使其能成為這個(gè)國(guó)家所需要的領(lǐng)導(dǎo)人。
I’ve learned a lot about the world from walking construction jobs by hisside. When run properly,construction sites are true meritocracies. Competence inthe building trades is easy to spot and incompetence is impossible to hide.
在他身邊工作我受益良多，尤其是在建筑工程方面。要想合理運(yùn)營(yíng)公司，建筑工地是兵家必爭(zhēng)之地。弱肉強(qiáng)食就是這個(gè)行業(yè)的殘酷之處。
These sites are also incredible melting pots, gathering people from allwalks of life and uniting them to work towards a single mission. There havealways been men of all background and capacities on my father’s job sites. Andlong before it was common place, you also saw women.
工地也是這樣的地方，各行各業(yè)各階層的人們聚集在一起為了一個(gè)目標(biāo)而努力?？傆懈鞣N不同身份背景的人們來到我父親的工地，長(zhǎng)此以往，工地就變成了一個(gè)在普通不過的地方，所以有女性出入也就見怪不怪了。
My father values talent.He recognizes real knowledge and skill when hefinds it. He is color blind and gender neutral. He hires the best person for thejob, period.
我父親十分珍視人才。他重視知識(shí)和技能;他不在乎膚色和性別;他只任用最適合這個(gè)崗位的人才，不管你是誰。
Words and promises, no matter visionary they sound will only get you sofar. In our business, you're not a builder, unless you’ve got a building to showfor it, or in my father’s case, city skylines. Most people strive their entirelives to achieve great success in a single industry.My father has succeeded inmany on the highest level and on a global scale. One of the reasons he hasthrived as an entrepreneur is because he listens to everyone. Billionaireexecutives don’t usually ask the people doing the work for their opinion of thework. My father is an exception.
語言和承諾，不管它們聽起來多么富有遠(yuǎn)見，成效有限。在我們的業(yè)務(wù)中，除非你有樓房來展示，否則你就不是一個(gè)建設(shè)者，就我父親而言，他展示的是城市輪廓。大多數(shù)人奮斗一生，只能在某一產(chǎn)業(yè)取得巨大的成功。而我父親在很多產(chǎn)業(yè)中功成名就，而且他的成功山登絕頂，遍及五洲。作為企業(yè)家，他成功的一個(gè)重要原因就是他善于傾聽。富翁總裁通常不會(huì)問及做工作的人對(duì)這個(gè)工作的意見。我父親是個(gè)例外。
TRUMP: On every one of his projects, you’ll see him talking to the super,the painter, the engineers, the electricians, he’ll ask them for their feedback,if they think something should be done differently, or could be done better.When Donald Trump is in charge,all that counts is ability, effort andexcellence.
在他的每個(gè)項(xiàng)目中，你會(huì)看到他會(huì)和主管、油漆工、工程師、電工交談，詢問他們的反饋，了解是否他們認(rèn)為事情可以另辟蹊徑或精益求精。當(dāng)唐納德·川普負(fù)責(zé)時(shí)，唯有能力、努力和卓越至關(guān)重要。
This has long been the philosophy at the Trump Organization. At my father’scompany, there are more female than male executives. Women are paid equally forthe work that we do and when a woman becomes a mother, she is supported, notshut out. Women represent 46 percent of the total U.S. labor force, and 40percent of American households have female primary breadwinners.
這一直是川普集團(tuán)的理念。在我家的公司中，女性高管多于男性。女性與男性同工同酬，當(dāng)她成為母親，她會(huì)受到支持，而不是被拒之門外。婦女占美國(guó)總勞動(dòng)力的46%，女性在40%的美國(guó)家庭中是家里的頂梁柱。
In 2014, women made 83 cents for every dollar made by a man. Single womenwithout children earn 94 cents for each dollar earned by a man, whereas marriedmothers made only 77 cents. As researchers have noted,gender is no longer thefactor creating the greatest wage discrepancy in this country, motherhoodis.
2014年，男性每賺1美元，女性賺83美分，沒有小孩的單身女性賺94美分，而已婚母親只能賺77美分。正如研究人員注意到的，性別不再是產(chǎn)生最大工資差距的因素——母親身份才是。
As President, my father will change the labor laws that were put into placeat a time when women were not a significant portion of the workforce. And hewill focus on making quality childcare affordable and accessible for all.
作為總統(tǒng)，我父親將修訂生效于女性還不是勞動(dòng)力重要組成部分時(shí)期的勞動(dòng)法，他將專注于讓所有人都能負(fù)擔(dān)得起并接觸到優(yōu)質(zhì)的兒托服務(wù)。
As a mother myself, of three young children, I know how hard it is to workwhile raising a family. And I also know that I’m far more fortunate than most.American families need relief. Policies that allow women with children to thriveshould not be novelties, they should be the norm. Politicians talk about wageequality, but my father has made it a practice at his company throughout hisentire career.He will fight for equal pay for equal work, and I will fight forthis too, right along side of him.
作為三個(gè)孩子的母親，我深知邊工作邊照顧家庭的艱難。我也知道，我比大多數(shù)人更加幸運(yùn)。美國(guó)家庭需要幫助。幫助有孩子的女性成功這樣的政策不應(yīng)是新鮮事物，而應(yīng)該是常規(guī)。政客們談?wù)摴べY平等，但我父親在他的整個(gè)職業(yè)生涯中一直在公司踐行。他將為同工同酬戰(zhàn)斗，我也將與他并肩戰(zhàn)斗。
Americans today need an economy that permits people to rise again. A TrumpPresidency will turn the economy around and restore the great American traditionof giving each new generation hope for brighter opportunities than those of thegeneration that came before. In Donald Trump, you have a candidate who knows thedifference between wanting something done and making it happen.
美國(guó)人今天所需要的經(jīng)濟(jì)，要能讓人們?cè)俅握酒?。川普總統(tǒng)任期將扭轉(zhuǎn)經(jīng)濟(jì)頹勢(shì)，恢復(fù)偉大的美國(guó)傳統(tǒng)，即賦予每一代獲得比前一代更加明亮機(jī)會(huì)的新希望。在唐納德·川普身上，你看到這樣一位候選人，他明白想要做事和做成此事之間的差異。
When my father says that he will build a tower, keep an eye on the skyline.Floor by floor a soaring structure will appear, usually record setting in itsheight and iconic in its design. Real people are hired to do real work. Visionbecomes reality. When my father says that he will make America great again, hewill deliver.
當(dāng)我父親說，他要建立一座塔樓的時(shí)候，你只需留意天際。一層層，一飛沖天的建筑就會(huì)出現(xiàn)，而且通常是創(chuàng)紀(jì)錄的高度、標(biāo)志性的設(shè)計(jì)。實(shí)人用來做實(shí)事，愿景變?yōu)楝F(xiàn)實(shí)。當(dāng)我父親說，他將使美國(guó)再次偉大，他會(huì)言必信，行必果。
We have a chance this year, to reclaim our heritage as a country thatdreams big and makes the impossible happen. Fortunately, Donald Trump isincapable of thinking small.When I was a child, my father always told me,Ivanka, if you’re going to bethinking anyway, you might as well think big. AsPresident, my father will take on the bold and worthy fights. He will beunafraid to set lofty goals and he will be relentless in his determination toachieve them.
我們今年有一個(gè)機(jī)會(huì)，重現(xiàn)我們作為一個(gè)國(guó)家敢于夢(mèng)想、敢于冒險(xiǎn)的遺產(chǎn)。幸運(yùn)的是，唐納德·川普從不目光短淺。當(dāng)我還是個(gè)孩子，我父親總是告訴我，“伊萬卡，如果你有什么理想，一定要目標(biāo)遠(yuǎn)大?！弊鳛榭偨y(tǒng)，我父親會(huì)承擔(dān)大膽的和有價(jià)值的戰(zhàn)斗。他不害怕樹立遠(yuǎn)大的目標(biāo)，他會(huì)不屈不撓地區(qū)實(shí)現(xiàn)它。
To people all over America, I say, when you have my father in your corner,you will never again have to worry about being let down. He will fight for youall the time, all the way, every time.
對(duì)所有美國(guó)人，我想說，當(dāng)我的父親與你在一起，你永遠(yuǎn)不需擔(dān)心失望。他會(huì)每次都為你一戰(zhàn)到底!
