Good evening.One year ago, I introduced my father when he declared his candidacy.Inhis own way and through his own sheer force of will, he sacrificed greatly to enter the political arena as an outsider and prevailed against(尤指长时间斗争后战胜) a field of 16 very talented competitors.For more than a year, Donald Trump has been the people’s champion.And tonight, he is the people’s nominee（候选人，被提名者）.Like many of my fellow millennials, I do not consider myself categorically Republican or Democrat.More than party affiliation, I vote based on what I believe is right for my family and my country.Sometimes, it’s a tough choice.That is not the case this time.As the proud daughter of your nominee, I am here to tell you that this is the moment, and Donald Trump is the person, to make America great again.Real change — the kind we have not seen in decades — is only going to come from outside the system, and it’s only going to come from a man who has spent his entire life doing what others said could not be done.My father is a fighter.When the primaries（美国初选） got tough — and they were tough! — he did what any great leader does: He dug deeper, worked harder, got better and became stronger.I have seen him fight for his family.I have seen him fight for his employees.I have seen him fight for his company, and now I am seeing him fight for our country! That’s been the story of his life and, more recently, the spirit of his campaign.It’s also a prelude to reaching the goal(…的序幕、前奏) that unites us all when this party — and better still this country — knows what it is like to win again.If it’s poible to be famous and yet not really well known, that describes the father who raised me.In the same office in Trump Tower where we now work together, I remember playing on the floor by my father’s desk, constructing miniature(缩小的,微型的) buildings with Legos and erector sets, while he did the same with concrete, steel and gla.My father taught my siblings and me the importance of positive values and a strong ethical compa.He showed us how to be resilient, how to deal with challenges and how to strive for excellence in all that we do.He taught us that there is nothing we cannot accomplish, if we marry vision and paion with an enduring work ethic.One of my father’s greatest talents is his ability to see potential in people before they see it in themselves.It was like that for us too, growing up.He taught us that potential vanishes into nothing without effort.And that, like him, we each had a responsibility to work not just for ourselves, but for the betterment of the world around us.Over the years, on too many occasions to count, I saw my father tear stories out of the newspaper, about people he had never met who were facing some injustice or hardship.He’d write a note to his aistant in his signature black felt-tip pen and request that the person befound and invited to Trump Tower to meet with him.He would talk to them, and then draw on（利用） his extensive network to find them a job or get them a break.And they would leave his office, as people often do after being with Donald Trump, feeling that life could be right again. Throughout my entire life, I have witneed his empathy（移情） and generosity towards others, especially those who are suffering; it’s just his way of being in your corner when you’re down.My father has not only the strength and ability neceary to be our next president, but also the kindne and compaion（同情） that will enable him to be the leader that this country needs. My father has a sense of fairne that touches every conviction（坚定的看法或信念） he holds.I’ve worked alongside him for more than a decade now at the Trump Organization, and I’ve seen how he operates as a leader, making important decisions that shape careers and change lives.I’ve learned a lot about the world from walking construction jobs by his side. When run properly, construction sites are true meritocracies.Competence in the building trades is easy to spot, and incompetence is impoible to hide.These sites are also incredible（难以置信的） melting pots, gathering people from all walks of life and uniting them to work toward a single miion.There have always been men of all backgrounds and ethnicities on my father’s job sites, and long before it was commonplace（司空见惯的）, you also saw women. My father values talent.He recognizes real knowledge and skill when he finds it.He is color blind and gender-neutral.He hires the best person for the job, period.Words and promises, no matter how visionary they sound, will only get you so far.In our busine, you’re not a builder unle you’ve got a building to show for it or, in my father’s case, city skylines. Most people strive their entire lives to achieve great succe in a single industry.My father has succeeded in many at the highest level and on a global scale.One of the reasons he has thrived（繁荣，茂盛） as an entrepreneur is because he listens to everyone.Billionaire executives don’t usually ask the people doing the work for their opinions of the work.My father is an exception.On every one of his projects, you’ll see him talking to the super, the painter, the engineers, the electricians.He’ll ask for their feedback（反馈）; if they think something should be done differently or could be done better. When Donald Trump is in charge, all that counts is ability, effort and excellence.This has long been the philosophy at the Trump Organization.At my family’s company, there are more female than male executives.Women are paid equally for the work that we do, and when a woman becomes a mother, she is supported, not shut out.Women represent 46 percentof the total U.S.labor force, and 40 percent of American households have female primary breadwinners.In 2014, women made 83 cents for every dollar earned by a man.Single women without children earned 94 cents for each dollar earned by a man, whereas（然而） married mothers made only 77 cents.As researchers have noted, gender is no longer the factor creating the greatest wage discrepancy — motherhood is.As president, my father will change the labor laws that were put in place（到位） at a time in which women were not a significant part of the workforce, and he will focus on making quality childcare affordable and acceible for all.As the mother of three young children, I know how hard it is to work while raising a family, and I also know that I am more fortunate than most.American families need relief.Policies that allow women with children to thrive should not be novelties（新颖的事物）; they should be the norm（标准，常态）.Politicians talk about wage equality, but my father has made it a practice at his company throughout his entire career.He will fight for equal pay for equal work, and I will fight for this too, right alongside of him.Americans today need an economy that permits people to rise again.A Trump presidency will turn the economy around（扭转经济） and restore the great American tradition（恢复传统） of giving each new generation hope for brighter opportunities than those of generation that came before.In Donald Trump, you have a candidate who knows the difference between wanting something done and making it happen.When my father says he will build a tower, keep an eye on the skyline.Floor by floor, a soaring（高耸的） structure will appear, usually record-setting in its height and iconic in its design.Real people are hired to do real work.Vision becomes reality.When my father says that he will make America great again, he will deliver.We have a chance this year, to reclaim our heritage as a country that dreams big and makes the impoible happen.Fortunately, Donald Trump is incapable of thinking small.When I was a child, my father always told me, “Ivanka, if you’re going to be thinking anyway, you might as well think big.” As president, my father will take on the bold and worthy fights.He will be unafraid to set lofty（崇高的，伟大的） goals, and he will be relentle in his determination to achieve them.To the people all over America, I say, when you have my father in your corner, you will never again have to worry about being let down.He will fight for you all the way, all the time.Every time
