伊万卡的演讲稿

1、Good eve ning. Thank you. One year ago, I in troduced my father whe n he declared his can didacy .In his own way, and through his own sheer force of will, he sacrificed greatly to en ter the political arena as an outsider.晚上好。谢谢。一年前，当我父亲宣布参选时，我为他进行了介绍演讲。 作为一个门外汉，我的父亲用自己的方式，凭借一腔热血，牺牲付出， 进入了政坛。And he

2、prevailed 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 s nominee.他从16位优秀的候选人中脱颖而出。这一年多以来，唐纳德特朗普一 直被大家拥护，而今夜，他成为了人民的候选人。Like many of my fellow mille ni als, I do not con sider myself categorically Republi

3、ca n or Democrat. More tha n party affiliati on, I vote on based on what I believe is right, for my family and for my country. Sometimes it s a tough choice. That is not the ca this time.As the proud daughter of your nomin ee, I am here to tell you that thisis the mome nt and Don ald Trump is the pe

4、rs on to make America great aga in.跟很多千禧年的人一样，我并不认为自己有共和党或民主党的党派之 分。抛开党派关系，我投票完全因为我相信它是对的，这是为家庭，更 是为国家。很多时候，选择都是艰难的。而这一次并不是。作为候选人 的女儿，我十分自豪，此时此刻我在这里就是想告诉大家唐纳德特朗 普就是那个能让美国再次伟大的人。Real cha nge, the kind we have not see n in decades is only going to come from outside the system. And it s only going to c

5、ome from aman who s spe nt his en tire life doing whatothers said could not be done. My father is a fighter. When the primaries got tough and they were tough, he did what any great leader does. He dug deeper,worked harder, got better and became stro nger.真正的改变，那种几十年都没为人所见的改变，只会来自于体系外。而 它只会来自一个花了一生去做

6、别人认为不可能的事情的人。我的父亲是一个战士。初选的时候很艰难，竞选对手也很强势，他做了一个伟大的 领导人该做的事情。他越发努力工作，提升自己，变得更强大。I have see n him fight for his family. I have see n him fight for his employees. I have see n him fight for his compa ny. And no w, I am seeing him fight for our country. It s been the story of his life and morerecently th

7、e spirit o f his campaign. It s also a prelude to reaching the goal that un ites us all. Whe n this party and better still this country knows what it is like to win aga in.我见过他为了我们的家庭奋斗，为自己的员工奋斗，为了自己的公司拼 搏。现在，我见证着他为了我们的国家而奋斗。奋斗是他一生的故事， 也是他竞选的精神所在。这也是让我们团结在一起的前奏。 我们共和党, 还有我们国家即将再次尝到胜利的滋味。If it s poss

8、ible to be famous and yet not really well done, that describes the father who raised me. In the same office in Trump Tower, where we now work together, I remember playing on the floor by my father s desk, con struct ing mini aturebuildi ngs with Legos and Erector sets, while he did the same with con

9、 crete steel and glass.如果可以的话，我想跟你们说说这个把我养大的父亲。也是在特朗普塔里面，我们曾一起共事，我还记得我在父亲的办工作旁玩乐高，搭小房 子，而我父亲在做一样的事情，只不过他玩的是真的钢筋水泥One of my father s greatest talents is the ability to see potential in people, before they see it in themselves. It was like that for us to grow ing up. He taught us that pote ntial vani

10、shes into no thi ng without effort.我父亲最大的天赋在于他能看到不同人的才华，甚至有些时候这些人都不知道自己有这样的才华。就像他对我们的教育一样。他告诉我们再好的天赋如果不加上适当的训练也会变得一文不值。And like him, we each had a resp on sibility to work, no t just for ourselves but for the betterme nt of the world around us.Over the years, on too many occasi ons to coun t, I saw

11、my father tear stories out of the n ewspaper about people whom he had n ever met, who were facing some injustice or hardship.就像他一样，我们每个人都有责任区工作，这样做不仅仅是为了我们自己，而是为了让我们身边的世界变得更好。多年来，在多到数不清的场 合里，我看到我父亲从报纸上撕下关于那些他从未见过的正在面临不公 和苦难的人的报道。He d write a note to his assista nt, in a sig nature black felt-tip pen

12、, and request that the pers on be found and in vited to Trump Tower to meet with him. He would talk to them and then draw upon his extensive n etwork to find them a job or get them a break. And they would leave his office, as people so ofte n do after hav ing bee n with Don ald Trump, feeli ng that

13、life could be great aga in.他还写了一个便签给他的助理，告诉这个助理把那些他看到的有困难的人邀请到Trump Tower来见他。我父亲会跟这些人聊天然后通过自己 卓越的商业人脉帮助这些人找一份工作或者帮他们度过难关。在他们离开我父亲的办公室时，他们感觉人生又燃起了希望。Throughout my en tire life, I have wit nessed his empathy andgenerosity towards others, especially those who are suffering. It is just his way of being

14、in yo ur corner when you re down. My father not onlyhas the stre ngth and ability n ecessary to be our next Preside nt, but also the kindn ess and compassi on that will en able him to be the leader that this country n eeds.在我们的一生中，我已经无数次目睹了他对别人的善良和同情，特别是 那些正在遭受困难的人。当你遇到困难时，他就会在你转身后的某一个角落里等着你。我父亲不仅有能

15、力成为我们的下一个总统，而且他的善良和同情心能确保他成为这个国家的领导者。I ve learned a lot about the world from walking construction jobs by his side. When run properly, construction sites are true meritocracies.Compete nee in the buildi ng trades is easy to spot and in compete nee is impossible to hide.在他身边工作我受益良多，尤其是在建筑工程方面。管理得当，建筑

16、工 地是真正的唯才是举，建筑行业竞争激烈，无能之辈无处躲藏。These sites are also in credible melt ing pots, gatheri ng people from all walks of life and un it ing them to work towards a sin gle missi on. There have always bee n men of all backgro unds and eth ni cities on my father s job sites. And long before it was com mon pla

17、ce, you also saw wome n.工地也是这样的地方，各行各业各阶层的人们聚集在一起为了一个目标 而努力。总有各种不同身份背景的人们来到我父亲的工地，长此以往， 工地就变成了一个在普通不过的地方，所以有女性出入也就见怪不怪 了。My father values tale nt. He recog ni zes real kno wledge and skill whe n he finds it. He is colorblind and gender neutral. He hires the best pers on for the job, period.我父亲十分珍视人才

18、。他重视知识和技能；他不在乎肤色和性别；他只 启用最适合这个岗位的人才，不管你是谁。Words and promises, no matter visi onary they sound will only get youso far. I n our bus in ess, youre not a builder, unl ess youve got as case, city skyli nes. Mostbuildi ng to show for it, or in my father people strive their en tire lives to achieve greats

19、uccess in a single in dustry.心有多大，舞台就有多大。在我们这个行业，只有建造出一栋大楼才敢说你是一个建筑商，而在我父亲这里，建造出擎天大厦才是一个合格的建筑商。大多数人花了一生的时间才能在一个行业取得成功。My father has succeeded in many on the highest level and on a globalscale. One of the reas ons he has thrived as an en trepre neur ist usuallybecause he liste ns to every one. Billi

20、on aire executives don ask the people doing the work for their opinion of the work. My father is an excepti on.而我父亲在全球范围内的各个行业都取得了高水准的建树。其中一个原因就是他能听取他人意见。富豪们很少听取他人对于他工作的意见，而 我父亲则是个例外。On every one of hisprojects, youll see him talki ng to the super, thepain ter, the engin eers, the electr icia ns, he

21、 ll ask them for their feedback, if they think someth ing should be done differe ntly, or could be done better. Whe n Don ald Trump is in charge, all that counts is ability, effort and excelle nee.在每一个工程中，你就会看到他跟油漆工，跟工程师，跟电工交流，如果他们认为有更好的方法我父亲就会听取他们的意见。每当我父亲负责一件事的时候，他只看重你办事的能力、付出的努力和取得的成绩。This has lo

22、ng bee n the philosophy at the Trump Orga ni zati on. At my father s company, there are more female than male executives. Wome n are paid equally for the work that we do and whe n a woma n becomes a mother, she is supported, not shut out.这就是我们川普集团的商业哲学。在我父亲的公司，女性主管占大多数。 男女员工同工同酬，当我们的女性员工成为母亲的时候，她只会获

23、得公 司的支持而不是被无情地辞退。Wome n represe nt 46 perce nt of the total U.S. labor force, and 40 perce nt of America n households have female primary breadw inn ers.In 2014, wome n made 83 cents for every dollar madeby a man. Sin gle wome n without childre n earn 94 cents for each dollar earned by a man, wherea

24、s married mothers made only 77 cen ts. As researchers have no ted, gen der is no lon ger the factor creat ing the greatest wage discrepa ncy in this coun try, motherhood is.美国主要劳动力中有46%是女性，同时美国40%的家庭中女性是顶梁 柱。2014年，男性每挣一美元女性就挣 83美分。一个无子的单身女性 可以达到94美分，而成婚后的女性只能挣77美分。研究人员已经意识 到，性别不再是影响薪酬的主要因素，“母亲”这个身份才

25、是。As Preside nt, my father will cha nge the labor laws that were put into place at a time whe n wome n were not a sig nifica nt porti on of the workforce. And he will focus on maki ng quality childcare affordable and accessible for all. 一旦竞选成功，我父亲会修改劳动法， 让女性作为主要劳动力的重要组 成部分不再遭受不公正待遇。 同时他也会在生育保险方面有所行动

26、，让 每一个人都能从中获益。As a mother myself, of three young childre n, I know how hard it is towork while raising a family. And I also know that I m far more fortunatethan most. American families need relief. Policies that allow womenwith children to thrive should not be novelties, they should be thenorm. Poli

27、ticia ns talk about wage equality, but my father has made it apractice at his company throughout his entire career.我个人作为三个孩子的母亲，我深知照顾家庭的同时要兼顾工作是多么的艰辛。但同时我也知道我已经比大多数母亲都幸运很多了。美国家庭负重太累了，需要一些政策来缓解一下。鼓励生育的政策应该如常进行下去。政客们总是讨论同薪同酬，但是只有我父亲在他的公司里从头到尾践行着这个诺言。He will fight for equal pay for equal work, and I will fight for this too,right along side of him.他会一直为这一目标努力奋斗，而我也会与他一起并肩作战。
