Every moment wasted looking back keeps us from moving forward. Life is too short, time is too precious, and the stakes are too high to dwell on what might have been. We have to work together for what still can be. And that is why I will work my heart out to make sure that Senator Obama is our next president.
When we first started, people everywhere asked the same questions. Could a woman really serve as commander-in-chief? Well, I think we answered that one.
As we gather here today in this historic, magnificent building, the 50th woman to leave this Earth is orbiting overhead. If we can blast 50 women into space, we will someday launch a woman into the White House.
Although we weren't able to shatter that highest, hardest glass ceiling this time, thanks to you, it's got about 18 million cracks in it...
虽然这一次，我们无法打破那最高、最坚硬的玻璃天花板，但是由于你们，它出现了1800万道裂缝……
... and the light is shining through like never before, filling us all with the hope and the sure knowledge that the path will be a little easier next time.
光明从未像现在这样明亮，让我们充满希望，确信下一次这条道路将变得更容易一些。
希拉里对奥巴马赞美之词，简直无以复加。谁能想到几个星期前，两人还在互相攻击。希拉里对着电视公开说“Shame on you, Barack Obama”。不能不让人感叹政治家的灵活。
The way to continue our fight now, to accomplish the goals for which we stand is to take our energy, our passion, our strength, and do all we can to help elect Barack Obama, the next president of the United States.
Today, as I suspend my campaign, I congratulate him on the victory he has won and the extraordinary race he has run. I endorse him and throw my full support behind him.
今天，当我停止自己的竞选活动，我向他祝贺胜利，为他的优异表现喝彩。我完全支持他，我将尽全力支持他。
(APPLAUSE)
（掌声）
And I ask all of you to join me in working as hard for Barack Obama as you have for me.
我要求你们所有人加入我，像支持我那样地，全力支持巴拉克·奥巴马。
(APPLAUSE)
（掌声）
I have stood on the stage and gone toe-to-toe with him in 22 debates. I've had a front-row seat to his candidacy, and I have seen his strength and determination, his grace and his grit.
我在竞选中，曾经同他面对面辩论了22次。我对他很了解，我亲眼看到了他的力量和决心，他的优雅和勇气。
希拉里的结束词堪称经典。
Now, being human, we are imperfect. That's why we need each other, to catch each other when we falter, to encourage each other when we lose heart. Some may lead, some may follow, but none of us can go it alone.
