Prohibition means progress.

禁酒令将促进社会发展

Never again will families be robbed of their fathers,

从此不会再有沉湎于酒的父亲

held hostage by alcohol.

以及因此失去支柱的家庭

How proud I am

这个伟大的国度

to live in a nation which,

今日终于赋予了女性

god willing, this year

投票的权利

will finally give s women the right to vote.

能生活在此,我真是荣幸万分

Ladies, I regret to inform you

女士们,抱歉通知大家

that I have been called away on urgent county business

由于郡内紧急要务,我必须先行告退

and therefore will be unable to stay for the potluck.

因此很遗憾不能和大家共进晚餐

In closing, however, let me say this:

我想以此来作结

Without the continued support

没有你我这般

of good decent women like you,

正派善良的人民的

men like me,

不断支持

would be nowhere.

禁酒令只是一句空谈

Thank you and god bless.

谢谢,愿上帝保佑
