麦凯恩败选

MCCAIN: Thank you. Thank you, my friends. Thank you for coming here on this beautiful Arizona evening.

感谢各位。非常感谢你们，我的朋友们。感谢你们在这个美好的夜晚，来到这里。

My friends, we have -- we have come to the end of a long journey. The American people have spoken, and they have spoken clearly.

我的朋友们，我们已经，已经走完了这次漫长的旅程。美国人民已经说出了他们的决定，说得非常清楚。

A little while ago, I had the honor of calling Senator Barack Obama to congratulate him.

刚才，我非常荣幸地给奥巴马参议员打电话，向他表示祝贺。

Please. To congratulate him on being elected the next president of the country that we both love.

祝贺他当选为这个国家的下一任总统，这个我们两个都无比热爱的国家的下一任总统。
