羅姆尼保證"重樹美國的希望"

U. S. Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney has accepted his party's nomination, pledging to "restore the promise of America."

美國共和黨總統候選人羅姆尼在共和黨全國大會上接受本黨提名，保證要“重樹美國的希望”。

Mr. Romney addressed the Republican National Convention and millions of Americans watching on television late Thursday. He said he wished U.S. President Barack Obama had succeeded, because he wants the U.S. to succeed. But, Mr. Romney said, the president's promises instead "gave way to disappointment and division," and Americans "deserve better."

星期四晚間，羅姆尼對共和黨全國大會代表以及衆多美國電視觀衆發表演講。羅姆尼說，他希望奧巴馬總統獲得成功，因爲他希望美國獲得成功。可是，羅姆尼說，奧巴馬的承諾“歸於失望和分裂”，而美國人民理應得到更好的結果。

Mr. Romney said that if elected president, he will use a five-step plan to grow the economy and create 12 million jobs.

羅姆尼說，如果自己當選總統，將實施一項五步計劃來發展經濟並創造1200萬個就業機會。

Mr. Romney also promised "less flexibility and more backbone" in global diplomacy, along with "more loyalty" to U.S. allies such as Israel.

羅姆尼還承諾在全球外交事務中減少彈性，更堅守原則，同時更忠實於以色列等美國盟友。

The presidential candidate even appealed to women voters by praising the Republican female leaders in attendance and by pointing out that, as governor, he had a woman as lieutenant governor, a woman chief of staff and women in half of his senior posts.

羅姆尼還向女選民做出姿態，讚揚出席大會的共和黨女領導人，並談到在他擔任麻薩諸塞州州長期間，曾有一名女副州長和一名女辦公室主任，而且半數州政府高層官員都是女性。
