林肯葛底斯堡演說
Abrabam
Lincoln/亞伯拉罕·林肯
Four
score
and
seven
years
ago,our
fathers
brought
forth
upon
this
continent
a
new
Nation,conceived
in
Liberty,and
dedicated
to
the
proposition
that
all
men
are
created
equal.
Now,we
are
engaged
in
a
great
Civil
War,testing
whether
that
Nation,or
any
nation
so
conceived
and
so
dedicated,can
long
endure.
We
are
met
on
a
great
battlefield
of
that
war.
We
have
come
to
dedicate
a
portion
of
that
field
as
a
final
resting-place
for
those
who
here
gave
their
lives
that
Nation
might
live.
It
is
altogether
fitting
and
proper
that
we
should
do
this.
But,in
a
larger
sense,we
cannot
dedicate,we
cannot
consecrate,we
cannot
hallow
this
ground.
The
brave
men,living
and
dead,who
struggled
here,have
consecrated
it
far
above
our
poor
power
to
add
or
detract.
