我还要特别感谢所有的年轻人。我希望你们能听到这一部分的内容。正如蒂姆所说的,我这辈子都在为我的信条而奋斗。有过成功,也有过挫折,有时候甚至是非常严重的挫折。你们当中许多人都处在公共领域工作或政治生涯的早期。同样地,你们会得到成功,也会遭受挫折。

这次落选令人心痛,但是请千万不要放弃相信:为正义奋斗是值得的。

(掌声)

希拉里:是的,是值得的。

(掌声)

因此,我们需要你们继续为正义而奋斗,为之奋斗终生。

谢谢所有的女性,尤其是年轻女性,谢谢你们对这次竞选和对我的支持和信心。我想要你们知道,成为你们的斗士是我最大的骄傲。

(掌声)

我知道,我们还没有打碎最高和最硬的玻璃天花板(指女性当选总统),但终有一天,有人会打碎,希望这一天能比我们期待的更早到来。

(掌声)

我还要谢谢所有正在观看此次演讲的小女孩们。我想告诉你们,永远都不要质疑你自己的价值和能力,你配得上每一个帮助你追逐和实现梦想的机会。

最后……

(掌声)

最后,我要感谢国家,感谢国家给我的一切。我每天都在为我自己是美国人而感到幸运。并且,我仍然坚信不疑,只要我们齐心协力,尊重差异,相信并热爱这个国家,我们还会取得更伟大的成就。

(掌声)

因为我相信“众人拾柴火焰高”,我相信我们会一起向前。并且,永远也不要后悔你为这个目标奋斗过。圣经上说,“我们行善,不可丧志。若不灰心,到了时候,就要收成”。

朋友们,让我们相信彼此,让我们保持斗志,让我们保持信心,因为未来还有机会。而我们也还有更多的工作需要去做。

能够有机会代表你们参与这次至关重要的选举,我感到无比荣幸、无比感激!

Hillary Clinton’s concession speech 2016

Site: http://time.com/4564480/read-hillary-clintons-concession-speech-full-transcript/

CLINTON: Thank you. Thank you all. Thank you.

(APPLAUSE)

Thank you all very much. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you so much.

(APPLAUSE)

Very rowdy group. Thank you, my friends. Thank you. Thank you, thank you so very much for being here and I love you all, too.

Last night, I congratulated Donald Trump and offered to work with him on behalf of our country. I hope that he will be a successful president for all Americans. This is not the outcome we wanted or we worked so hard for and I’m sorry that we did not win this election for the values we share and the vision we hold for our country.

But I feel pride and gratitude for this wonderful campaign that we built together, this vast, diverse, creative, unruly, energized campaign. You represent the best of America and being your candidate has been one of the greatest honors of my life.

(APPLAUSE)

I know how disappointed you feel because I feel it too, and so do tens of millions of Americans who invested their hopes and dreams in this effort. This is painful and it will be for a long time, but I want you to remember this. Our campaign was never about one person or even one election, it was about the country we love and about building an America that’s hopeful, inclusive and big-hearted.

We have seen that our nation is more deeply divided than we thought. But I still believe in America and I always will. And if you do, then we must accept this result and then look to the future. Donald Trump is going to be our president. We owe him an open mind and the chance to lead.

Our constitutional democracy enshrines the peaceful transfer of power and we don’t just respect that, we cherish it. It also enshrines other things; the rule of law, the principle that we are all equal in rights and dignity, freedom of worship and expression. We respect and cherish these values too and we must defend them.
