  Imagine if we broke out of these tired old patterns. Imagine if we did something different. Understand, a better politics isn't one where Democrats abandon their agenda or Republicans simply embrace mine. A better politics is one where we appeal to each other's basic decency instead of our basest fears. A better politics is one where we debate without demonizing each other; where we talk issues and values, and principles and facts, rather than "gotcha" moments, or trivial gaffes, or fake controversies that have nothing to do with people's daily lives. (Applause.)

  想像一个如果我们打破这些老旧的模式,想像一下我们做一些截然不同的事情。请明白,一个更好的政治不是民主党人放弃他们的议事日程,或者仅仅是共和党来支持我的议事日程。一个更好的政治是在不妖魔化的对方的情况下进行辩论,我们谈论议题、价值观、原则、事实,而不是“我抓住你的弱点了”的时刻或者微不足道的口误或者与人们日常生活毫无关系的虚假争议。

  A politics -- a better politics is one where we spend less time drowning in dark money for ads that pull us into the gutter, and spend more time lifting young people up with a sense of purpose and possibility, asking them to join in the great mission of building America.

  一个更好的政治是我们花更多时间带着目标和可行性来提升年轻人,请求他们投身建设美国的伟大使命,花更少时间沉溺于攻击广告所需的黑钱之中。

  If we're going to have arguments, let's have arguments, but let's make them debates worthy of this body and worthy of this country. We still may not agree on a woman's right to choose, but surely we can agree it's a good thing that teen pregnancies and abortions are nearing all-time lows, and that every woman should have access to the health care that she needs. (Applause.)

  如果我们有争论的话,让我们进行争论,但让它们成为与配得上国会和美国的辩论。我们可能仍无法就女性的选择权达成共识,但是我们肯定都认为少女怀孕和堕胎率接近历史最低,所有女性可以得到她所需要的医疗护理是一件好事。

  Yes, passions still fly on immigration, but surely we can all see something of ourselves in the striving young student, and agree that no one benefits when a hardworking mom is snatched from her child, and that it's possible to shape a law that upholds our tradition as a nation of laws and a nation of immigrants. I've talked to Republicans and Democrats about that. That's something that we can share. 是的,人们在讨论移民议题非常激动,但我们肯定可以从奋斗的年轻学生身上看到我们自身的影子,我们都认为当一个努力工作的母亲被迫与她的孩子分离时,没有人从中受益,塑造一个维持我们作为法制国家和移民国家传统的法律是可能的。

  We may go at it in campaign season, but surely we can agree that the right to vote is sacred; that it's being denied to too many -- (applause) -- and that on this 50th anniversary of the great march from Selma to Montgomery and the passage of the Voting Rights Act, we can come together, Democrats and Republicans, to make voting easier for every single American. (Applause.)

  我们可能在竞选季节时谈到它,但可以肯定的说,我们都认为选举权是神圣的,但太多的人被剥夺了这种权利,在赛尔马至蒙戈马利大游行和投票权利法案五十周年之际,我们可以团结起来,民主党人和共和党人,使每个美国人的投票变得更容易。
