当地时间2016年11月9日，美国纽约，希拉里在家人以及副总统候选人蒂姆-凯恩陪同下现身发表演讲，并承认已致电赢得大选的特朗普。11月9日，美国总统大选结果出炉，共和党候选人特朗普击败民主党候选人希拉里赢得大选，成为第45任美国总统。

　　我有过成功也有挫折，有的时候，是很痛苦的挫折。你们当中的很多人，都处于职业的开端，无论是公共领域还是政治领域，你们也会遇到成功和挫折。这次的失败让人受伤，但是请不要停止相信：为正确的信念而奋斗，是值得的。的确，是值得的。

　　I've had successes and setbacks and sometimes painful ones. Many of you are at the beginning of your professional, public, and political careers — you will have successes and setbacks too.

　　This loss hurts, but please never stop believing that fighting for what's right is worth it.

　　It is, it is worth it. [Cheers and applause]

　　所以我们需要，我们需要你们继续这些奋斗，奋斗于当下，奋斗终生。同时，对所有将信念加诸这场竞选以及我身上的女性，特别是年轻女性们，我希望你们知道，没有什么比成为你们的捍卫者更让我感到骄傲的了。

　　And so we need — we need you to keep up these fights now and for the rest of your lives. And to all the women, and especially the young women, who put their faith in this campaign and in me: I want you to know that nothing has made me prouder than to be your champion.

　　我们还没有打破这层最高的和最坚硬的天花板玻璃，但是，有一天，有一个人会的。希望这一天要比我们现在觉得的，来得更早。

　　Now, I know we have still not shattered that highest and hardest glass ceiling, but someday someone will — and hopefully sooner than we might think right now. [Cheers and applause]

　　我想对所有在观看我演讲的小女孩们说，永远不要怀疑自己的价值和能力，你应该去抓住世界上每一次机会，去追求与实现自己的梦想。

　　And to all of the little girls who are watching this, never doubt that you are valuable and powerful and deserving of every chance and opportunity in the world to pursue and achieve your own dreams. [Cheers and applause]
