11月4日大选之夜，奥巴马将在芝加哥湖滨公园举行集会，预期近百万人参加。

The Grant Park Election Night rally for Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama will be held in two sections of the park -- a southern portion on the softball diamonds at Hutchinson Field for some 70,000 ticketed guests of the campaign and a smaller non-ticketed event farther north near the Petrillo Music Shell in Butler Field.
Security precautions and logistics have steadily whittled away the size of the crowd expected at the event. Where the gathering once seemed likely to swell on warm weather and high hopes for a hometown candidate, public safety officials doused expectations by restricting which parts of the park will be open and saying they would turn away people if the crowd was too big and unruly.

Still, Tuesday night's rally promises to lure 100,000 or more, and participants will have  a standing-room-only chance at witnessing history.

Those who were able to get tickets will pass through heightened security but have a chance to buy pizza and hot chocolate steps away from the stage where Obama will declare victory or concede defeat. For those without tickets, at least one Jumbotron television and extra speakers will bring the event to Butler Field.

芝加哥市长戴利预期，场内场外的人群即使达到100万也不足为奇。

芝加哥已经沸腾，今夜无人入睡，等待奥巴马总统的诞生。我是喜欢宁静的人，便躲在西北郊落满黄叶的小楼，看电视喝啤酒，看这一出大戏。我们有生之年，大概看不到中国会有这样的正剧了，几代先贤的梦想，依然只是一个梦。

大势已定，大约两个小时后奥巴马将发表胜选演说。

下午去投票，感觉很开心。

奥巴马将发表胜选演说。

Yes, We Can!

这是我们应有的信念，奥巴马演说里几次否定犬儒。
