第6章 I Have a Dream (1)(1 / 3)

我有一個夢

Martin

Luther

King/馬丁·路德·金

Five

score

years

ago,a

great

American,in

whose

symbolic

shadow

we

stand

today,signed

the

Emancipation

Proclamation.

This

momentous

decree

came

as

a

great

beacon

light

of

hope

to

millions

of

Negro

slaves

who

had

been

seared

in

the

flames

of

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

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

languished

in

the

corners

of

American

society

and

finds

himself

an

exile

in

his

own

land.

And

so

we’ve

come

here

today

to

dramatize

a

shameful

condition.

And

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

and

live

out

the

true

meaning

of

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,the

sons

of

former

slaves

and

the

sons

of

former

slave

owners

will

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

sweltering

with

the

heat

of

injustice,sweltering

with

the

heat

of

oppression,will

be

transformed

into

an

oasis

of

freedom

and

justice.

I

have

a

dream

that

my

four

little

children

will
