What was at the beginning of this spring no more than “a glimmer of hope,” to use Obama’s phrase, has become a more serious and positive trend. Animated collectively by a combination of natural optimism and deep nationalism, Americans have made their president’s campaign slogan, “Yes, we can,” their own.
今年春天不仅仅是“希望的开始”，奥巴马现象已经成为“认真乐观”的代名词。美国人有着天然的乐观主义精神，伴随着深厚的民族主义感情，他们把本次总统竞选的口号称为“是的，我们能行”。
