特朗普接受共和党提名的正式演讲【下】
Donald Trump's acceptance speech at the RNC
Recently I have said that NATO[(North Atlantic Treaty Organization)北约] was obsolete[废弃的;过时的;淘汰的;老化的]. Because it did not properly cover terror. And also that many of the member countries were not paying their fair share. As usual, the United States has been picking up the cost. Shortly thereafter, it was announced that NATO will be setting up a new program in order to combat terrorism. A true step in the right direction.
Lastly, and very importantly, we must immediately suspend immigration from any nation that has been compromised by terrorism until such time as proven vetting mechanisms[审查机制] have been put in place. We don't want them in our country.
My opponent has called for a radical 550 percent increase — think of this, this is not believable, but this is what is happening — a 550 percent increase in Syrian refugees on top of existing massive refugee flows coming into our country already under the leadership of president Obama.
She proposes this despite the fact that there's no way to screen[测试;检查;审查] these refugees in order to find out who they are or where they come from. I only want to admit individuals into our country who will support our values and love our people. Anyone who endorses[支持;背书] violence, hatred or oppression is not welcome in our country and never ever will be.
Decades of record immigration have produced lower wages and higher unemployment for our citizens, especially for African-American and Latino workers. We are going to have an immigration system that works, but one that works for the American people.
On Monday, we heard from three parents whose children were killed by illegal immigrants Mary Ann Mendoza, Sabine Durden, and my friend Jamiel Shaw. They are just three brave representatives of many thousands who have suffered so greatly.
Of all my travels in this country, nothing has affected me more, nothing even close than the time I have spent with the mothers and fathers who have lost their children to violence spilling across our borders, which we can solve. We have to solve it. These families have no special interests to represent them. There are no demonstrators to protect them and none too protest on their behalf.
My opponent will never meet with them, or share in their pain. Believe me. Instead, my opponent wants sanctuary cities[移民庇护城市]. But where was sanctuary for Kate Steinle? Where was sanctuary for the children of Mary Ann, Sabine and Jamiel? Is so sad to even be talking about this. We can solve it so quickly. Where was sanctuary for all the other Americans who have been so brutally murdered, and who have suffered so horribly? These wounded American families have been alone. But they are not alone any longer.
Tonight, this candidate and this whole nation stand in their corner to support them, to send them our love, and to pledge in their honor that we will save countless more families from suffering the same awful fate.
We are going to build a great border wall to stop illegal immigration, to stop the gangs and the violence, and to stop the drugs from pouring into our communities.
I have been honored to receive the endorsement of America's Border Patrol agents, and will work directly with them to protect the integrity of our lawful, lawful, immigration system.
By ending catch-and-release on the border, we will stop the cycle of human smuggling[偷渡] and violence. Illegal border crossings[非法越境] will go down. We will stop it. It will not be happening very much anymore. Believe me.
Peace will be restored by enforcing the rules for the millions who overstay their visas, our laws will finally receive the respect they deserve.
Tonight, I want every American whose demands for immigration security have been denied and every politician who has denied them to listen very closely to the words I am about to say: On on January 20 of 2017, the day I take the oath of office[宣誓就职], Americans will finally wake up in a country where the laws of the United States are enforced.
We are going to be considerate and compassionate[富有同情心的] to everyone. But my greatest compassion will be for our own struggling citizens.
My plan is the exact opposite of the radical and dangerous immigration policy of Hillary Clinton. Americans want relief from uncontrolled immigration. Which is what we have now. Communities want relief. Yet Hillary Clinton is proposing mass amnesty[大赦;赦免期], mass immigration, and mass lawlessness.
Her plan will overwhelm[(用武力)制服,击败,征服] your schools and hospitals, further reduce your jobs and wages, and make it harder for recent immigrants to escape from the tremendous cycle of poverty they are going through right now and make it almost impossible for them to join the middle class.
I have a different vision for our workers. It begins with a new, fair trade policy that protects our jobs and stands up to countries that cheat — of which there are many.
It's been a signature message of my campaign from day one, and it will be a signature feature of my presidency from the moment I take the oath of office. I have made billions of dollars in business making deals. Now I'm going to make our country rich again. Using the greatest businesspeople of the world, I'm going to turn our bad trade agreements into great trade agreements.
America has lost nearly-one third of its manufacturing jobs since 1997, following the enactment[制定;颁布;通过;法令] of disastrous trade deals supported by bill and Hillary Clinton. Remember, it was Bill Clinton who signed NAFTA[北美自由贸易协定(North American Free Trade Agreement)], one of the worst economic deals ever made by our country. Or frankly, any other country. Never ever again.
I am going to bring our jobs back our jobs to Ohio[俄亥俄州] and Pennsylvania[宾夕法尼亚州] and New York and Michigan[密歇根州] and all of America and I am not going to let companies move to other countries, firing their employees along the way, without consequences. Not going to happen anymore.
My opponent, on the other hand, has supported virtually every trade agreement that has been destroying our middle class. She supported NAFTA, and she supported China's entrance into the world trade organization. Another one of her husband's colossal[巨大的;庞大的] mistakes and disasters. She supported the job killing trade deal with South Korea. She supported the Trans-Pacific Partnership[跨太平洋伙伴关系协定] which will not only destroy our manufacturing but it will make America subject to the rulings of foreign governments. And it is not going to happen.
I pledge to never sign any trade agreement that hurts our workers, or that diminishes our freedom and Independence. We will never ever sign bad trade deals. America first again. American first.
Instead, I will make individual deals with individual countries. No longer will we enter into these massive transactions with many countries that are thousands of pages long and which no one from our country even reads or understands. We are going to enforce all trade violations against any country that cheats. This includes stopping China's outrageous[骇人的;令人震惊的;无法接受的] theft of intellectual property[知识产权], along with their illegal product dumping[非法产品倾销], and their devastating currency manipulation[货币操纵;汇率操纵]. They are the greatest that ever came about, they are the greatest currently manipulators ever.
Our horrible trade agreements with China, and many others, will be totally renegotiated[重新协商]. That includes renegotiating NAFTA to get a much better deal for America and will walk away if we don't get that kind of a deal. Our country is going to start building and making things again.
Next comes the reform of our tax laws, regulations and energy rules. While Hillary Clinton plans a massive, and I mean massive, tax increase, I have proposed the largest tax reduction of any candidate who has run for president this year, Democrat or Republican. Middle-income Americans will experience profound relief, and taxes will be greatly simplified for everyone. I mean everyone.
America is one of the highest-taxed nations in the world. Reducing taxes will cause new companies and new jobs to come roaring back into our country. Believe me. It will happen and it will happen fast.
Then we are going to deal with the issue of regulation, one of the greatest job killers of them all. Excessive regulation[过度管制] is costing our country as much as $2 trillion a year, and we will end and it very quickly.
We are going to lift the restrictions on the production of American energy. This will produce more than $20 trillion in job-creating economic activity over the next four decades.
My opponent, on the other hand, wants to put the great miners and steelworkers of our country out of work and out of business[歇业;破产;停业;倒闭]. That will never happen with Donald J trump as president. Our steelworkers and miners are going back to work again.
With these new economic policies, trillions of dollars will start flowing into our country. This new wealth will improve the quality of life for all Americans. We will build the roads, highways, bridges, tunnels, airports, and the railways of our tomorrow. This, in turn, will create millions of more jobs.
We will rescue kids from failing schools by helping their parents send them to a safe school of their choice. My opponent would rather protect education bureaucrats than serve American children. That is what she is doing and that is what she has done.
We will repeal and replace disastrous Obamacare[奥巴马医改]. You will be able to choose your own doctor again.
And we will fix TSA[美国运输安全管理局(Transportation Security Administration)] at the airports, which is a total disaster. Thank you.
We are going to work with all of our students who are drowning in debt[负债累累] to take the pressure off these young people just starting out in their adult lives. Tremendous problems.
We will completely rebuild our depleted[消耗的;耗费的;减少的] military. And the countries that we protecting at a massive cost to us will be asked to pay their fair share.
We will take care of our great veterans like they have never been taken care of before. My just-released 10 point plan has received tremendous better support. We will guarantee those who serve this country will be able to visit the doctor or hospital of their choice without waiting five days in a line and dying.
My opponent dismissed the VA scandal, one more sign of how out of touch she really is.
We are going to ask every department head and government to provide a list of wasteful spending projects that we can eliminate in my first 100 days. The politicians have talked about this for years, but I'm going to do it.
We are also going to appoint justices to the United States Supreme Court[美国联邦最高法院] who will uphold our laws and our constitution. The replacement of our beloved Justice Scalia will be a person of similar views, principles and judicial philosophies. Very important. This will be one of the most important issues decided by this election.
My opponent wants to essentially abolish the 2nd Amendment. I, on the other hand, received the early and strong endorsement of the National Rifle Association[美国全国步枪协会]. And will protect the right of all Americans to keep their families safe.
At this moment, I would like to thank the evangelical[基督教福音派的] community because, I will tell you what, the support they have given me — and I'm not sure I totally deserve it — has been so amazing. And has been such a big reason I'm here tonight. They have much to contribute to our policies.
Yet our laws prevent you from speaking your mind from your own pulpits. An amendment[宪法修正案], pushed by Lyndon Johnson, many years ago, threatens religious institutions[宗教组织] with a loss of their tax-exempt[免税的] status if they openly advocate their political views. Their voice has been taken away. I will work hard to repeal[废除;废止;撤消;取消] that language and to protect free speech for all Americans.
We can accomplish these great things and so much more. All we need to do is start believing in ourselves a in our country again. Start believing. It is time to show the whole world that America is back, bigger and better and stronger than ever before.
In this journey, I'm so lucky to have at my side my wife Melania and my wonderful children Don, Ivanka, Eric, Tiffany, and Barron: You will always be my greatest source of pride and joy. And by the way, Melania and Ivanka, did they do a job?
My dad, Fred Trump, was the smartest and hardest working man I ever knew. I wonder sometimes what he'd say if he were here to see this tonight. It's because of him that I learned, from my youngest age, to respect the dignity of work and the dignity of working people.
He was a guy most comfortable in the company of bricklayers[砖瓦工;砖匠], carpenters, and electricians[电工] and I have a lot of that in me also. I love those people.
Then there's my mother, Mary. She was strong, but also warm and fair-minded[公正的;公平的]. She was a truly great mother. She was also one of the most honest and charitable people I have ever known, and a great, great judge of character. She could pick them out from anywhere.
To my sisters, Mary Anne and Elizabeth, my brother Robert and my late brother Fred, I will always give you my love. You are most special to me. I have loved my life in business.
But now, my sole and exclusive mission is to go to work for our country, to go to work for you. It is time to deliver a victory for the American people. We don't win anymore, but we are going to start winning again. But to do that, we must break free from the petty politics of the past.
America is a nation of believers, dreamers, and strivers[奋斗者] that is being led by a group of censors, critics, and cynics. Remember: All of the people telling you you can't have the country you want, are the same people, that would not stand, I mean they said Trump does not have a chance of being here tonight, not a chance, the same people. We love defeating those people, don't we? Love it.
No longer can we rely on those same people. In the media and politics who, will say anything to keep a rigged system in place. Instead, we must choose to believe in America.
History is watching us now. It's we don't have much time. We don't have much time. It's waiting to see if we will rise to the occasion, and if we will show the whole world that America is still free and independent and strong.
I am asking for your support tonight so that I can be year champion in the White House. And I will be a champion.Your champion.
My opponent asks her supporters to recite a three-word loyalty pledge[忠诚誓言]. It reads: "I'm with her."
I choose to recite a different pledge. My pledge reads: "I'm with you the American people."
I am your voice. So to every parent who dreams for their child, and every child who dreams for their future, I say these words to you tonight: I'm with you, and I will fight for you, and I will win for you.
To all Americans tonight, in all our cities and towns, I make this promise:
We will make America strong again.
We will make America proud again.
We will make America safe again.
And we will make America great again!
God bless you and goodnight! I love you!
