Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump's daughter Ivanka said her father is a \who will fight for America. (The Washington Post)
Good evening. One year ago, I introduced my father when he declared his candidacy. In his own way and through his own sheer force of will, he sacrificed greatly to enter the political arena as an outsider and prevailed against a field of 16 very talented competitors. For more than a year, Donald Trump has been the people’s champion. And tonight, he is the people’s nominee.
晚上好！一年前，当他宣布参选，我介绍过我的父亲。作为一个局外人，他以自己的方式，通过自己纯粹的意志力为进入政治领域做出了巨大的牺牲，战胜了16位才华横溢的竞争对手。一年多来，唐纳德·川普一直是人民的冠军。今晚，他是人民的总统提名人。
Like many of my fellow millennials, I do not consider myself categorically Republican or Democrat. More than party affiliation, I vote based on what I believe is right for my family and my country. Sometimes, it’s a tough choice. That is not the case this time. As the proud daughter of your nominee, I am here to tell you that this is the moment, and Donald Trump is the person, to make America great again.
和许多千禧一代的同龄人一样，我并不断然地将自己归为共和党或民主党人。我超越党派之争，根据是否有利于我的家庭和国家而投票。有时，这是一个艰难的选择。然而，这次并非如此。作为你总统提名人的女儿，我在这里要自豪地告诉你，此时此刻，唐纳德·川普是能让美国再次伟大的那个人！
Real change — the kind we have not seen in decades — is only going to come from outside the system, and it’s only going to come from a man who has spent his entire life doing what others said could not be done. My father is a fighter. When the primaries got tough — and they were tough! — he did what any great leader does: He dug deeper, worked harder, got better and became stronger.
真正的变化——我们几十年未见的那种——只会来自于系统外部，来自于把整个生命用来做别人说不能做的事情的人身上。我的父亲是一名斗士。当初选艰难的时候——当对手强悍时！——他做了伟大领导人所做的事：他深耕细作、勤奋努力，渐入佳境、越战越勇。
I have seen him fight for his family. I have seen him fight for his employees. I have seen him fight for his company, and now I am seeing him fight for our country! That’s been the story of his life and, more recently, the spirit of his campaign. It’s also a prelude to reaching the goal that unites us all when this party — and better still this country — knows what it is like to win again.
我见过他为家人而战、为员工而战、为公司而战，现在我看到他正为我们的国家而战！这是他一生的故事，也是近期他竞选的精神。这也是当这个党——甚至这个国家——再一次想品尝胜利的滋味，从而实现团结所有人目标的前奏。
If it’s possible to be famous and yet not really well known, that describes the father who raised me. In the same office in Trump Tower where we now work together, I remember playing on the floor by my father’s desk, constructing miniature buildings with Legos and erector sets, while he did the same with concrete, steel and glass. My father taught my siblings and me the importance of positive values and a strong ethical compass. He showed us how to be resilient, how to deal with challenges and how to strive for excellence in all that we do. He taught us that there is nothing we cannot accomplish, if we marry vision and passion with an enduring work ethic.
我的父亲名声在外，但又不是众所周知，这就是养育我的父亲。在川普大厦我们现在一起工作的一间办公室里，我还记得曾在父亲办公桌旁的地板上玩耍，用乐高和建设者积木搭建微型建筑，而他
