美国同胞们。

My fellow Americans.

今早我站在你们面前。

I stand before you this morning in barefaced awe.

对民主制度的庄严，充满了敬畏之情。

of the majesty of our democratic system.

真是个不凡的一晚。

What a night.

在我们这个民主国家。

In a democracy such as ours.

必须依赖人民选出总统。

it falls to the people to choose their president.

也就是各位昨晚企图达成的事。

and that is what you attempted to do last night.

选举人团，出现前所未有之平手票数。

As it turned out, there's a virtually unprecedentedtie in the electoral college.

许多学者则认为。

a somewhat arcane institution.

该废除此晦涩难解的制度。

that many scholars believe we should do away with.

我本人想告知各位。

I wish to say on a personal note.

虽然票数平手。

that although there is a tie.

我依旧有幸赢得选票。

I am most pribileged to have won the popular vote.
