http://t1.g.hjfile.cn/listen/201308/201308020948483137526.mp3Over the next several weeks, in cities and towns across the country, I'll continue to lay out my ideas in each of these areas.Because reversing the forces that have conspired against the middle class for decades will require more than short-term thinking; it will require a long-term American strategy, based on steady, persistent effort. I know there are members of both parties who understand what's at stake, and I'm open to ideas from across the political spectrum, as long as they meet the test of strengthening the prospects of hard-working families.But repealing Obamacare, gutting critical investments in our future, threatening to default on the bills this country has already racked up, or shutting down the government just because I'm for keeping it open - none of those thing add up to an economic plan.None of that will take this country where it needs to go. We can do this if we work together.It won't be easy, but if we take a few bold steps - and if Washington is willing to shake off its complacency and set aside some of the slash-and-burn partisanship we've seen in recent years - our economy will keep getting stronger.
And as long as I have the privilege of holding this office, I will spend every minute of every day doing everything in my power to make this economy work for working Americans again; to build that better bargain for the middle class; to make sure that the American Dream is something that's achievable for everybody - not just today, but for decades to come. Thanks, and have a great weekend.在未来的几周里，在全国各个城市和乡镇，我将继续在这些地区阐述我的观点。因为打退几十年来暗中损害中产阶级势力需要的不是短期思维；它需要的是长期的美国战略，基于稳定的坚实努力的战略。我知道两党中都有人理解什么是当务之急，我将海纳百川听取任何政治派别的意见，只要它们能经得起加强勤奋工作家庭愿景的考验。但是废除“奥巴马医保”，对未来投资釜底抽薪，威胁要对国家已经积累的赤字赖账，或仅仅因为我倾向继续运行就关闭政府—这些都不能列入经济计划。这些都不能使国家实现其发展目标。如果我们齐心协力就能实现目标。这并不容易，但是如果我们采取一些大胆的举措—如果华盛顿愿意放弃他们的妄自尊大并且搁置我们近年来看到的争斗性政党关系—我们的经济就能更加强劲。只要我还是总统，我就会每时每刻在我的职权范围内尽一切努力使这个经济体再次为辛勤工作的美国人工作；为中产阶级争取更多利益；确保美国梦是每个人都能圆的梦—不仅今天，今后几十年也如此。谢谢大家，祝你们周末愉快。
