{{B}}Fighting for a Brighter Future for
Women{{/B}} ? ?When I was asked what it means to be a woman running
for president, I always gave the same answer that I was proud to be running as a
woman, but I was running because I thought I’d be the best president. ?
?But I am a woman and, like millions of women, I know there are still
barriers and biases (偏见) out there, often unconscious, and I want to build an
America that respects and embraces the potential of every last one of
us. ? ?I ran as a daughter who benefited from opportunities my
mother never dreamed of. I ran as a mother who worried about my daughter’s
future and a mother who wants to leave all children brighter
tomorrows. ? ?To build that future I see, we must make sure that
women and men alike understand the struggles of their grandmothers and their
mothers, and that women enjoy equal opportunities, equal pay, and equal
respect. ? ?Let us resolve and work toward achieving very simple
propositions (命题) :There are no acceptable limits, and there are no acceptable
prejudices in the 21st century in our country. ? ?You
can also be so proud that, from now on, it will be unremarkable for a woman to
win primary state victories, unremarkable to have a woman in a close race to be
our nominee (被提名者), unremarkable to think that a woman can be the president of
the United States. And this is truly remarkable, my friends. ? ?To
those who are disappointed that we couldn’t go all of the way, especially the
young people who put so much into this campaign, it would break my heart if, in
falling short of my goal, I in any way ?discouraged any of you from
pursuing yours. ? ?Always aim high, work hard, and care deeply
about what you believe in. And, when you stumble (绊倒) ,keep faith. And, when
you’re knocked down, get right back up and never listen to anyone who says you
can’t or shouldn’t go on. ? ?As we gather here today in this
historic, magnificent building, the 50th woman to leave the Earth is
?orbiting (绕轨道运行) overhead. If we can blast 50 women into space, we will
someday launch a woman into the White House.
