马丁·路德·金《I have a dream》演讲全文 I Have a Dream by Martin Luther King, Jr. 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. 今天，我高兴地同大家一起，参加这次将成为我国历史上为了争取自由而举行的最伟大的示威集会。 Five score years ago, a great American, in whose symbolic shadow we stand today, signed the Emancipation Proclamation. 100年前，一位伟大的美国人——今天我们就站在他象征性的身影下——签署了《解放宣言》。 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.这项重要法令的颁布，对于千百万灼烤于非正义残焰中的黑奴， It came as a joyous daybreak to end the long night of their captivity. 犹如带来希望之光的硕大灯塔，恰似结束漫漫长夜禁锢的欢畅黎明。 But one hundred years later, the Negro still is not free. 然而，100年后，黑人依然没有获得自由。One hundred years later, the life of the Negro is still sadly crippled by the manacles of segregation and the chains of discrimination.100年后，黑人依然悲惨地蹒跚于种族隔离和种族歧视的枷锁之下。 One hundred years later, the Negro lives on a lonely island of poverty in the midst of a vast ocean of material prosperity. 100年后，黑人依然生活在物质繁荣翰海的贫困孤岛上。 One hundred years later, the Negro is still languished in the corners of American society and finds himself an exile in his own land. 100年后，黑人依然在美国社会中间向隅而泣，依然感到自己在国土家园中流离漂泊。 And so weve come here today to dramatize a shameful condition. 所以，我们今天来到这里，要把这骇人听闻的情况公诸于众。 In a sense weve come to our nations capital to cash a check. 从某种意义上说，我们来到国家的首都是为了兑现一张支票。 When the architects of our republic wrote the magnificent words of the Constitution and the Declaration of Independence,我们共和国的缔造者在拟写宪法和独立宣言的辉煌篇章时， they were signing a promissory note to which every American was to fall heir. 就签署了一张每一个美国人都能继承的期票。 This note was a promise that all men, yes, black men as well as white men, would be guaranteed the unalienable Rights of Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness. 这张期票向所有人承诺——不论白人还是黑人——都享有不可让渡的生存权、自由权和追求幸福权。 It is obvious today that America has defaulted on this promissory note, insofar as her citizens
