I
Have a Dream
我有一个梦想
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.
今天我很高兴和大家一起，
参加这次将成为我们国家历史上为了争取自由而举
行的最伟大的游行示威集会。
Five score years ago, a
great American, in whose symbolic shadow we stand
today, signed the Emancipation
Proclamation.
一百多年前，一位伟大的美国人
-
今天我们就站在他的象征性的身影之下
-
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. 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.
这项重要法令的颁布，对于千百万煎熬于非正义残焰中的黑奴来说
，就像带来
希望之光的伟大灯塔。恰似结束慢慢长夜禁锢的欢畅黎明。
But one hundred years
later, the Negro still is not free.
但
100
年之后，黑奴并没有获得自由。
One hundred years later,
the life of the Negro is still sadly crippled by
the
manacles of segregation and the
chains of discrimination.
100
年之后 ，黑奴的生活依然是悲惨的蹒跚于种族隔离和种族歧视的枷锁下。
One hundred years later, the Negro
lives on a lonely island of poverty in the
midst of a vast ocean of material
prosperity.
100
年之后，黑奴依然生活在物质繁荣海洋 中一个贫困孤岛之上。
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
年之后，黑奴依然在美国社会间向隅而泣，依然感到自己在国土家园中颠
沛流离。

And
wo we've come here today to dramatize a shameful
condition.
所以今天我们来到这里，将这骇人听闻的现状公之于众。
In a sense we've come to
our nation's capital to cash a check.
从某种意义上说，我们来到国家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, they were signing a
promissory note to which every American
was to fall their.
我们共和国的缔造者在家拟写宪法和独立宣言
的辉煌篇章时，签署了一张每一
个美国人都能继承的期票。
This notes was a promise
that all men, yes, black men as well as white men,
would be guaranteed the
of H
appiness.
这张期票向所有人承诺
-
不论黑人还 是白人，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 of color are
concerned.
然而，今天美国显然对她的有色公民拖欠着这张期票。
Instead of honoring this
sacred obligation, America has given the Negro
people a bad check, a check which has
come back marked
美国没有承兑这笔神圣的债务，
而是开始给黑人一张空头支票
-
一张被盖着
“
资
金不足
”
的信戳被退回的支票。
< p>
But we refuse to believe
that the band of justice is bankrupt.
然而我们拒绝相信正义银行已经破产。
We refuse to believe that there are
insufficient funds in the great vaults of
opportunity of this nation.
我们拒绝相信在这个国家庞大的机会宝库中会没有足够的资金。
And 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.

hallowed spot to remind America of the fierce
urgency of Now.

children.

It would be fatal for the
nation to overlook the urgency of the movement.

This sweltering summer of
the Negro's legitimate discontent will not pass
until
there is an invigorating antumn
of freedom and equality.

And those who
hope that the Negro needed to blow off steam and
will now be
content will have a rude
awakening if the nation return to business as
usual.
对于那些希望黑人只是发泄一下情绪，并且将会安于现状的人来说，如果
整个
国家将不改变态度的话，他们将会被粗暴地唤醒。
And there will be neither
rest nor tranquility in America until the Negro is
granted his citizenship right.
在黑人取得其公民权利之前，美国将永无安定祥和。
The whirlwinds of revolt
will continue to shake the foundations of our
nation
until the bright day of justice
emerges.
反抗的旋风不断摇晃着我们国家的基础，知道出现公平的晴天。
But there is something that
I must say to my people, who stand on the warm
threshold which leads into the palase
of justice: in the process of gaining our
rightful place, we must be not guilty
of wrongful deeds.
但我必须提醒大家，我们今天站在通往公正的
殿堂的道路上，这道门槛曾经被
千千万万的人踏过，在取得我们应有地位的过程中，我们
无论如何不能采取任
何错误的行为。
Let us not seek the satisfy our thirst
for freedom by drinking from the cup of
