基本的に翻訳は訓練してないから出来ないとは言いつつ、正しい翻訳よりも例文として自然な表現を目指すという目標が掲げられると、これはなかなか病みつきになる体験かもしれない。
Fundamentally, you're not practicing anything by translating, so even if you say that you can't do it, once you've set your sights on a similar sentence you've seen before that is more natural yet does not quite convey the original sentence's nuances, translation proves to be an act that is quite addicting.
私たちの前には、長い道のりが待ち受けています。目の前の斜面は急です。目指すところに、1年ではたどりつかないかもしれない。大統領として1期を丸ごと使っても無理かもしれない。しかしアメリカよ、私たちは絶対にたどり着きます。今夜ほどその期待を強くしたことはありません。
The road ahead will be long. Our climb will be steep. We may not get there in one year or even in one term. But, America, I have never been more hopeful than I am tonight that we WILL get there.
