For eight years, we have also strived to expand opportunity and hope here at home. Across our country, students are rising to meet higher standards in public schools. A new Medicare prescription drug benefit is bringing peace of mind to seniors and the disabled. Every taxpayer pays lower income taxes. The addicted and suffering are finding new hope through faith- based programs. Vulnerable human life is better protected. Funding for our veterans has nearly doubled. America's air, water and lands are measurably cleaner. And the federal bench includes wise new members, like Justice Sam Alito and Chief Justice John Roberts.
過去的八年，我們努力擴(kuò)大美國人民所擁有的機(jī)會(huì)與希望。在美國，學(xué)生不斷上進(jìn)，以求符合公立學(xué)校更高的標(biāo)準(zhǔn)。對于老人和殘疾人來說，一種新的醫(yī)療處方藥福利令他們頗感舒心。每個(gè)納稅人繳納了更少的稅款。通過以信仰為基礎(chǔ)的治療項(xiàng)目，那些癮君子和痛苦的人們找到了新希望。過去八年來的工作更好地保護(hù)了人脆弱的生命。對于退伍老兵的補(bǔ)助幾乎增加了一倍。美國的一山一水都真切地變得更為干凈。睿智的山姆?阿力拓、首席法官約翰?羅伯茨加入到聯(lián)邦法院中。

When challenges to our prosperity emerged, we rose to meet them. Facing the prospect of a financial collapse, we took decisive measures to safeguard our economy. These are very tough times for hardworking families, but the toll would be far worse if we had not acted. All Americans are in this together. And together, with determination and hard work, we will restore our economy to the path of growth. We will show the world once again the resilience of America's free enterprise system.
當(dāng)美國的繁榮遇到挑戰(zhàn)時(shí)，我們勇敢地去面對。當(dāng)金融危機(jī)發(fā)生時(shí)，我們采取果斷措施來保護(hù)我們的經(jīng)濟(jì)。對于那些辛勤工作的家庭來說，這些都是十分艱難的時(shí)期。但是如果我們不采取行動(dòng)的話，結(jié)果將會(huì)更為糟糕。所有的美國人都站在了一起。憑借著我們的決心和辛勤工作，我們將美國經(jīng)濟(jì)重新拉回到增長的車道上。我們將向世界再次展現(xiàn)美國自由企業(yè)制度的復(fù)興。

Like all who have held this office before me, I have experienced setbacks and there are things I would do differently, if given the chance. Yet, I've always acted with the best interests of our country in mind. I have followed my conscience and done what I thought was right. You may not agree with some tough decisions I have made, but I hope you can agree that I was willing to make the tough decisions. The decades ahead will bring more hard choices for our country, and there are some guiding principles that should shape our course.
正如所有前任總統(tǒng)一樣，我也曾經(jīng)歷過挫折。如果可能的話，我會(huì)采取不一樣的方式來應(yīng)對這些措施。但是，我總是為國家利益的最大化來行動(dòng)。你也許會(huì)不同意我所做出的一些決定，但我希望你能理解我是愿意采取這些措施的。未來的幾十年，美國將面對更多的艱難抉擇，而有一些指導(dǎo)性原則可以塑造我們的道路。
