我有一个梦想名人演讲

I Have a Dream I am happy to join with you today in what will go down in history as the greatest demonstration for freedom in the history of our nation Five score years ago a great American in whose symbolic shadow we stand today signed the 1 Emancipation Proclamation This momentous 2 decree came as a great beacon light of hope to millions of Negro slaves who had been 3 seared in the flames of 4 withering injustice It came as a joyous daybreak to end the long night of their captivity But one hundred years later the Negro still is not free One hundred years later the life of the Negro is still sadly crippled by the 5 manacles of segregation and the chains of discrimination One hundred years later the Negro lives on a lonely island of poverty in the midst of a vast ocean of material prosperity One hundred years later the Negro is still 6 languishing in the corners of American society and finds himself an exile in his own land So we have come here today to dramatize the shameful condition In a sense we ve come to our nation s capital to cash a check When the architects of our republic wrote the magnificent words of the Constitution and the Declaration of Independence they were signing a promissory note to which every American was to 7 fall heir This note was a promise that all men yes black men as well as white men would be guaranteed the 8 inalienable rights of life liberty and the pursuit of happiness It is obvious today that America has defaulted on this promissory note 9 insofar as her citizens of color are concerned Instead of honoring this sacred obligation America has given the Negro people a bad check a check which has come back marked insufficient funds But we refuse to believe that the bank of justice is bankrupt We refuse to believe that there are insufficient funds in the great 10 vaults of opportunity of this nation So we ve come to cash this check a check that will give us upon demand the riches of freedom and the security of justice I say to you today my friends so even though we face the difficulties of today and tomorrow I still have a dream It is a dream deeply rooted in the American Dream I have a dream that one day this nation will rise up live out the true meaning of 11 its creed We hold these truths to be self evident that all men are created equal I have a dream that one day on the red hills of Georgia sons of former slaves and the sons of former slave owners will they be able to sit down together at the table of brotherhood I have a dream that one day even the state of Mississippi a state 12 sweltering with the heat of injustice sweltering with the heat of oppression will be transformed into an 13 oasis of freedom and justice I have a dream that my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin but by the content of their character I have a dream today I have a dream that one day down in Alabama with its vicious racists with its governor having his lips dripping with the words of 14 interposition and 15 nullification one day right down in Alabama little black boys and black girls will be able to join hands with little white boys and white girls as sisters and brothers I have a dream today I have a dream that one day every valley shall be exalted every hill and mountain shall be made low the rough places will be made plain and the 16 crooked places will be made straight and the glory of the Lord shall be revealed and all 17 flesh shall see it together This is our hope So let freedom ring from the 18 prodigious hilltops of New Hampshire Let freedom ring from the mighty mountains of New York Let freedom ring from the heightening Alleghenies of Pennsylvania Let freedom ring from the snow capped Rockies of Colorado Let freedom ring from the 19 curvaceous slopes of California But not only that let freedom ring from Stone Mountain of Georgia Let freedom ring from Lookout Mountain of Tennessee Let freedom ring from every hill and molehill of Mississippi from every mountainside Let freedom ring and when this happens when we allow freedom ring when we let it ring from every village and every 20 hamlet from every state and every city we will be able to speed up that day when all of God s children black men and white men Jews and Gentiles Protestants and Catholics will be able to join hands and sing in the words of the old Negro spiritual Free at last free at last thank God almighty we are free at last CE 我有一個夢想我有一個夢想 今天 我很高興能夠參加這次我國有史以來為 爭取自由而舉行的最偉大的示威集會 一百年前 一位美國偉人簽署了 解放黑奴宣 言 現在我們就站在他紀念像投下的影子裏 這項重 要法令的頒佈 就像是高大的燈塔 給千千萬萬在非正 義的烈焰中煎熬的黑奴帶來了希望 它猶如結束囚室中 漫漫長夜的一束歡樂的曙光 然而 一百年後的今天 黑人依然沒有獲得自由 一百年後的今天 黑人依然悲慘地蹣跚於種族隔離和種族 歧視的枷鎖之下 一百年後的今天 黑人依然生活在物質 富裕的汪洋大海中的貧困孤島之上 一百年後的今天 黑 人依然在美國社會的陰暗角落裏艱難掙扎 在自己的國土 上受到放逐 所以 我們今天到這裏來 把這駭人聽聞的 事實公諸於眾 從某種意義上說 我們來到我們的首都是為了 兌現一張支票 我們共和國的締造者在擬寫 憲法 和 獨立宣言 時 就簽署了一張每一個美國人都能繼承 的期票 這張期票保證所有人 不論白人還是黑人 都享 有不可剝奪的生存權 自由權和追求幸福的權利 顯然 就有色公民而言 美國並沒有兌付這張 期票 美國不但沒有承擔這項神聖的義務 反而開給黑 人一張空頭支票 一張蓋著 資金不足 印戳被退回的支票 但我們不相信正義的銀行已經破產 我們不相 信這個國家龐大的機會寶庫會發生資金不足的情況 因 此 我們來要求兌現這張支票 一張見票即付 能為我們 兌現自由財富和正義保障的支票 朋友們 今天我要告訴你們 儘管當前和將來還 會有許多困難挫折 我仍然懷有一個夢想 這是一個深深 紮根於美國夢中的夢想 我夢想有一天這個國家能夠站 立起來 實現其立國信條的真諦 我們認為這些真理不 言而喻 所有的人生來就是平等的 我夢想有一天 在佐治亞州的紅色山岡上 昔 日奴隸的兒子將能夠和昔日奴隸主的兒子同席而坐 共 敘兄弟情誼 我夢想有一天 甚至連密西西比州這樣一 個因充斥著不公和壓迫而酷熱難當的荒漠之洲 也將變 成自由和正義的綠洲 我夢想有一天 我的四個孩子將在一個不是以 他們的膚色 而是以他們的品格優劣來評價他們的國度 裏生活 今天我有一個夢想 我夢想有一天 儘管阿拉巴馬州種族主義者猖 獗 儘管該州州長現在仍然滿口異議 拒絕執行聯邦法 令 但有朝一日 那裏的黑人兒童將能與白人兒童情同 骨肉 攜手並進 我今天有一個夢想 我夢想有一天 深谷彌合 高山夷平 崎嶇化 坦途 曲徑變通衢 上帝的光輝顯現 讓所有人類一齊 瞻仰 這就是我們的希望 那麼 讓自由之聲響徹新罕布
