Gettysburg Address Abraham Lincoln Fourscore 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 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. The world will little note nor long remember what we say here, but it can never forget what they did here. It is for us, the living, rather, to be dedicated here to the unfinished work which they who fought here have thus far so nobly advanced. It is rather for us to be here dedicated to the great task remaining before usthat from these honored dead we take increased devotion to that cause for which they gave the last full measure of devotion; that we here highly resolve that these dead shall not have died in vain; that this nation, under God, shall have a new birth of freedom; and that government of the people, by the people, and for the people, shall not perish from the earth. 葛底斯堡演说 亚伯拉罕·林肯 87 年前，我们的先辈们在这个大陆上创立了一个新国家，它孕育 于自由之中， 奉行一切人生来平等的原则。 现在我们正从事一场伟大 的内战， 以考验这个国家， 或者任何一个孕育于自由和奉行上述原则 的国家是否能够长久存在下去。 我们在这场战争中的一个伟大战场上 集会。烈士们为使这个国家能够生存下去而献出了自己的生命，
