法新社报道，周三，奥巴马被民主党正式提名为总统候选人，成为大党中的首位黑人获提名者。

Democrats on Wednesday anointed Barack Obama the first black major-party nominee for president, AFP reported.

希拉里在党内大会上戏剧性地停止了唱名表决，奥巴马在政坛上令人瞩目的崛起也因此而提升到了一个全新的高度。

Obama took his stunning political rise to new heights as Hillary Clinton dramatically halted a roll-call vote at the party convention.

共和党的麦凯恩将于下周接受提名。现在，只有他能够阻止奥巴马进驻白宫了。

Only Republican John McCain, who accepts his party's nomination next week, can now stop Obama before it reaches the White House.
