Last night, I congratulated Donald Trump and offered to work with him on behalf of our country. I hope that he will be a successful president for all Americans. This is not the outcome we wanted or we worked so hard for and I'm sorry that we did not win this election for the values we share and the vision we hold for our country.
我知道你们有多沮丧，因为我也切身体会。想必，寄希望和梦想于这次竞选的千百万美国人也和我们一样伤感。落选是痛苦的，并且痛苦将持续很长一段时间。但是，我希望你们记住：
我们竞选从来不是为了某一个人或者某一次选举，而是为了这个我们所热爱的国家，是为了建成一个充满希望、充满善意、兼容并包的国家。
我们都有目共睹，我们国家的割裂程度比我们想象的要严重。但我仍然并将一直对美国抱有信心。如果你和我一样抱有信心，那么我们就必须接受落选的结果，然后朝前看。唐纳德·特朗普将成为我们的下一任总统。我们本该用更开放的心态看待他，他也应该得到一次领导美国的机会。
我们的宪政民主制度要求：权力交接必须和平进行。我们尊重并且珍视这样的规定。此外，该制度还规定了法治，规定了人人享有平等权利和尊严的原则，规定了宗教自由和表达自由。我们也同样尊重并珍视这些价值观，而且我们必须要捍卫它们。
谢谢大家来到这里。我也爱你们。昨天晚上，我向唐纳德·特朗普表示了祝贺，并表示愿意同他一起为我们的国家而奋斗。我希望他能成为一名所有美国人心目中的成功总统。这份结果并非我们当初所愿或者拼搏至今的目标。我也很遗憾，我们没有凭借共有的价值观以及对这个国家未来的愿景而赢得这场选举。
I know how disappointed you feel, because I feel it too. And so do tens of millions of Americans who invested their hopes and dreams in this effort. This is painful, and it will be for a long time. But I want you to remember this.
Our campaign was never about one person, or even one election. It was about the country we love and building an America that is hopeful, inclusive, and big-hearted.
We have seen that our nation is more deeply divided than we thought. But I still believe in America, and I always will. And if you do, then we must accept this result and then look to the future. Donald Trump is going to be our president. We owe him an open mind and the chance to lead.
Our constitutional democracy enshrines the peaceful transfer of power. We don't just respect that. We cherish it. It also enshrines the rule of law; the principle we are all equal in rights and dignity; freedom of worship and expression. We respect and cherish these values, too, and we must defend them.
