A fiery President Biden delivered an impassioned defense of democracy at the DNC on Monday as he cast November's presidential election as an existential fight for the future of the country.
周一，热情如火的拜登总统在民主党全国代表大会上为民主进行了激情辩护，他将11月的总统选举视为国家未来的生死存亡之战。
Why it matters: The 81-year-old president's speech ran past midnight Eastern time as the DNC was behind schedule. Biden passed the torch to Vice President Kamala Harris and said the fight against Trumpism is far from finished.
为何重要：这位81岁的总统的演讲超过了东部时间午夜，因为民主党全国代表大会日程延误。拜登将火炬传给了副总统卡玛拉·哈里斯，并表示对抗特朗普主义的斗争远未结束。
"With a grateful heart, I stand before you now on this August night to report that democracy has prevailed," Biden said.
“怀着一颗感恩的心，我现在在这个八月的夜晚站在你们面前报告，民主已经取得了胜利，”拜登说。
"Democracy has delivered. And now democracy must be preserved."
“民主已经兑现。现在，民主必须得到维护。”
Driving the news: Biden wiped away tears as he was greeted by a minutes-long standing ovation by the crowd that chanted "we love Joe" as he entered the stage. Asked about this later, Biden told pool reporters: "The reception was pretty overwhelming."
推动新闻：当拜登进入舞台时，人群中长时间起立鼓掌并高呼“我们爱乔”，拜登擦去了眼泪。后来被问及此事时，拜登告诉记者：“接待非常热烈。”
His speech mixed touting his administration's legislative accomplishments, while delivering sharp criticisms of former President Trump, calling him a "liar" and a "loser."
他的演讲混合了对他政府立法成就的赞扬，同时对前总统特朗普进行了尖锐的批评，称他为“骗子”和“失败者”。
Biden reflected on his political career. "I made a lot of mistakes in my career, but I gave my best to you," Biden said to the nation.
拜登回顾了他的政治生涯。“在我的职业生涯中我犯了很多错误，但我把最好的给了你们，”拜登对国家说。
"For 50 years, like many of you, I've given my heart and soul to our nation and I've been blessed, a million times in return, with the support of the American people."
“50年来，像你们中的许多人一样，我全心全意地为我们的国家服务，我得到了美国人民的支持，这是我的千百万倍的福气。”
Zoom in: Biden said that selecting Harris as his running mate was the "best decision" he's made in his political career. He vowed to be the "best" campaign "volunteer" Harris and vice presidential running-mate Tim Walz "have ever seen."
聚焦：拜登表示，选择哈里斯作为他的竞选伙伴是他政治生涯中做出的“最佳决定”。他誓言要成为哈里斯和副总统竞选伙伴蒂姆·沃尔兹“见过的最好的”竞选“志愿者”。
He added that "MAGA Republicans found out the power of women in 2022 and Trump "is going to find out the power of women in 2024."
他补充说，“MAGA 共和党人在2022年发现了女性的力量，而特朗普将在2024年发现女性的力量。”
The big picture: The president was introduced by his daughter, Ashley Biden, and first lady Jill Biden.
大局：总统由他的女儿阿什利·拜登和第一夫人吉尔·拜登介绍。
"This is the fight of our lifetime," Ashley Biden said as she introduced her father, urging voters to fight for Harris.
“这是我们一生的战斗，”阿什利·拜登在介绍她的父亲时说，敦促选民为哈里斯而战。
Biden said his daughter's introduction was the highlight of his night, according to a pool reporter early Tuesday.
根据周二早间一位记者的报道，拜登表示女儿的介绍是他当晚的亮点。
Between the lines: Biden's speech, slated for primetime, began just before 11:30pm ET on Monday.
字里行间：拜登的演讲原定于黄金时段，但在周一晚上11:30前不久才开始。
"Because of the raucous applause interrupting speaker after speaker, we ultimately skipped elements of our program to ensure we could get to President Biden as quickly as possible so that he could speak directly to the American people," convention officials said in a statement.
“由于热烈的掌声打断了一位又一位演讲者，我们最终跳过了我们节目的一些元素，以确保我们能够尽快让拜登总统直接向美国人民发表讲话，”大会官员在一份声明中说。
Zoom out: Harris earlier on Monday made a surprise appearance on stage.
放眼全局：哈里斯在周一早些时候意外地出现在舞台上。
"Joe, thank you for your historic leadership, for your lifetime of service to this nation," Harris said. "We are forever grateful to you."
“乔，感谢你的历史性领导，感谢你为这个国家服务的一生，”哈里斯说。“我们永远感激你。”
State of play: Biden's speech was a symbolic moment for the party.
现状：拜登的演讲是该党的一个象征性时刻。
Biden for weeks resisted the pressure until the calls, including from top Democratic Party officials, became untenable, and he announced on July 21 that he was suspending his campaign and endorsing Harris. 几周来，拜登一直抵抗压力，直到包括民主党高级官员在内的呼声变得无法承受，他在7月21日宣布暂停他的竞选活动并支持哈里斯。
Since Harris' entry into the race, the Democratic Party has been riding a new wave of momentum that they hope to carry beyond the convention.
自从哈里斯进入竞选以来，民主党一直在借助一股新的势头，他们希望将这种势头延续到大会之外。
