From: TIME
Good afternoon. Thank you all.
Thank you. So let me say (crowd screams love you), and I love you back. So let me say my heart is full today. My heart is full today, full of gratitude for the trust you have placed in me, full of love for our country, and full of resolve. The outcome of this election is not what we wanted, not what we fought for, not what we voted for. But hear me when I say, hear me when I say, the light of America's promise will always burn bright as long as we never give up and as long as we keep fighting.
To my beloved Doug and our family, I love you so very much. To President Biden and Dr. Biden, thank you for your faith and support. To Governor Walz and the Walz family, I know your service to our nation will continue. And to my extraordinary team, to the volunteers who gave so much of themselves, to the poll workers and the local election officials I thank you. I thank you all.
Look, I am so proud of the race we ran. And the way we ran it. Over the 107 days of this campaign, we have been intentional about building community and building coalitions, bringing people together from every walk of life and background, united by love of country with enthusiasm and joy in our fight for America's future. And we did it with the knowledge that we all have so much more in common than what separates us. Now, I know folks are feeling and experiencing a range of emotions right now. I get it, but we must accept the results of this election. Earlier today, I spoke with President-elect Trump and congratulated him on his victory. I also told him that we will help him and his team with their transition and that we will engage in a peaceful transfer of power.
On the campaign, I would often say when we fight, we win. But here's the thing, here's the thing, sometimes the fight takes a while. That doesn't mean we won't win. The important thing is don't ever give up. Don't ever stop trying to make the world a better place. You have power. You have power. And don't you ever listen when anyone tells you something is impossible because it has never been done before.
You have the capacity to do extraordinary good in the world. And so to everyone who is watching, do not despair. This is not a time to throw up our hands. This is a time to roll up our sleeves. This is a time to organize, to mobilize, and to stay engaged for the sake of freedom and justice and the future that we all know we can build together.
Look, many of you know I started out as a prosecutor and throughout my career I saw people at some of the worst times in their lives. People who had suffered great harm and great pain, and yet found within themselves the strength and the courage and the resolve to take the stand, to take a stand, to fight for justice, to fight for themselves, to fight for others. So let their courage be our inspiration. Let their determination be our charge. And I'll close with this. There's an adage a historian once called a law of history, true of every society across the ages. The adage is, only when it is dark enough can you see the stars. I know many people feel like we are entering a dark time, but for the benefit of us all, I hope that is not the case. But here's the thing, America, if it is, let us fill the sky with the light of a brilliant, brilliant billion of stars. The light, the light of optimism, of faith, of truth and service.
And may that work guide us even in the face of setbacks toward the extraordinary promise of the United States of America. I thank you all. Make God bless you. And may God bless the United States of America. I thank you all.

谢谢你们。让我说（观众尖叫爱你），我也爱你们。今天我的内心很充实。内心充满了你们对我信任的感激，充满了对我们国家的热爱，充满了决心。这次选举结果并非我们所愿，并非我们所争取的，也并非我们所投票支持的。但请听我说，只要我们永不放弃，只要我们继续奋斗，美国的希望之光就会永远闪耀。

You have the capacity to do extraordinary good in the world. And so to everyone who is watching, do not despair. This is not a time to throw up our hands. This is a time to roll up our sleeves.

你们中很多人都知道，我最初是一名检察官，在我的职业生涯中，我见过一些处于人生最糟糕时期的人。这些人遭受了巨大伤害和痛苦，但他们仍能从内心深处找到力量、勇气和决心，坚定立场，为正义而战，为自己而战，为他人而战。因此，让我们以其勇气为激励，以其决心为动力吧。最后我想说，有一句格言，历史学家曾称之为历史定律，古往今来，每个社会都是如此。这句格言是：只有身处黑暗才能看见星光。我知道，很多人觉得我们正在进入一个黑暗的时代，但为了我们所有人的利益，我希望事实不会如此。但在美国，如果真就如此，那就让我们用灿烂夺目的亿万星星光芒照亮天空。乐观之光、信仰之光、真理之光和服务之光。
