But for too many of our citizens, a different reality exists: Mothers and children trapped in poverty in our inner cities; rusted-out factories scattered like tombstones across the landscape of our nation; an education system, flush with cash, but which leaves our young and beautiful students deprived of knowledge; and the crime and gangs and drugs that have stolen too many lives and robbed our country of so much unrealized potential.

但对很多公民来说，现实却是另一番景象。在内城区，母亲和孩子正饱受贫困，生锈的工厂像墓碑一样布满我们国家的土地，教育系统充斥着黑暗的权钱交易，导致我们年轻又俊俏的学生们在知识上出现漏洞。犯罪团伙和毒品夺走了很多生命，损害了我们国家众多尚未释放的潜力。

This American carnage stops right here and stops right now.

我们国家中的这些屠杀行为将永久结束在此地、结束在此刻。
