2017我有一個(gè)夢(mèng)想演講稿(4篇)
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.
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 bad 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. so we’ve come here today to dramatize a shameful condition.
in a sense we have come to our nation's capital to cash a check. 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 heir. 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.
it is obvious today that america has defaulted on this promissory note insofar as her citizens of color are concerned. instead of honoring this sacred obligation, america has given the negro people a bad check, a check which has come back marked "insufficient funds". but we refuse to believe that the bank of justice is bankrupt. we refuse to believe that there are insufficient funds in the great vaults of opportunity of this nation. so we have come to cash this check — a check that will give us upon demand the riches of freedom and the security of justice. we have also come to this hallowed spot to remind america of the fierce urgency of now. this is no time to engage in the luxury of cooling off or to take the tranquilizing drug of gradualism. now is the time to make real the promises of democracy. now is the time to rise from the dark and desolate valley of segregation to the sunlit path of racial justice. now is the time to lift our nation from the quick sands of racial injustice to the solid rock of brotherhood. now is the time to make justice a reality for all of god's children.
it would be fatal for the nation to overlook the urgency of the moment. this sweltering summer of the negro's legitimate discontent will not pass until there is an invigorating autumn of freedom and equality. nineteen sixty-three is not an end, but a beginning. those who hope that the negro needed to blow off steam and will now be content will have a rude awakening if the nation returns to business as usual. there will be neither rest nor tranquility in america until the negro is granted his citizenship rights. the whirlwinds of revolt will continue to shake the foundations of our nation until the bright day of justice emerges.
but there is something that i must say to my people who stand on the warm threshold which leads into the palace of justice. in the process of gaining our rightful place we must not be guilty of wrongful deeds. let us not seek to satisfy our thirst for freedom by drinking from the cup of bitterness and hatred.
we must forever conduct our struggle on the high plane of dignity and discipline. we must not allow our creative protest to degenerate into physical violence. again and again we must rise to the majestic heights of meeting physical force with soul force. the marvelous new militancy which has engulfed the negro community must not lead us to a distrust of all white people, for many of our white brothers, as evidenced by their presence here today, have come to realize that their destiny is tied up with our destiny. they have come to realize that their freedom is inextricably bound to our freedom. we cannot walk alone.
as we walk, we must make the pledge that we shall always march ahead. we cannot turn back. there are those who are asking the devotees of civil rights, "when will you be satisfied?" we can never be satisfied as long as the negro is the victim of the unspeakable horrors of police brutality. we can never be satisfied, as long as our bodies, heavy with the fatigue of travel, cannot gain lodging in the motels of the highways and the hotels of the cities. we cannot be satisfied as long as the negro's basic mobility is from a smaller ghetto to a larger one. we can never be satisfied as long as our children are stripped of their selfhood and robbed of their dignity by signs stating "for whites only". we cannot be satisfied as long as a negro in mississippi cannot vote and a negro in new york believes he has nothing for which to vote. no, no, we are not satisfied, and we will not be satisfied until justice rolls down like waters and righteousness like a mighty stream.
i am not unmindful that some of you have come here out of great trials and tribulations. some of you have come fresh from narrow jail cells. some of you have come from areas where your quest for freedom left you battered by the storms of persecution and staggered by the winds of police brutality. you have been the veterans of creative suffering. continue to work with the faith that unearned suffering is redemptive.
go back to mississippi, go back to alabama, go back to south carolina, go back to georgia, go back to louisiana, go back to the slums and ghettos of our northern cities, knowing that somehow this situation can and will be changed. let us not wallow in the valley of despair.
i say to you today, my friends, 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, live up to 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 children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color if their skin but by the content of their character.
i have a dream today.
i have a dream that one day down in alabama with its governor having his lips dripping with the words of interposition and nullification, one day right down in alabama little black boys and black girls will be able to join hands with little white boys and white girls as sisters and brothers. i have a dream today.
i have a dream that one day every valley shall be exalted, every hill and mountain shall be made low, the rough places will be made plain, and the crooked places will be made straight, and the glory of the lord shall be revealed, and all flesh shall see it together.
this is our hope. this is the faith that i go back to the south with. with this faith we will be able to hew out of the mountain of despair a stone of hope. with this faith we will be able to transform the jangling discords of our nation into a beautiful symphony of brotherhood. with this faith we will be able to work together, to pray together, to struggle together, to go to jail together, to stand up for freedom together, knowing that we will be free one day.
this will be the day when all of god’s children will be able to sing with new meaning.
my country, ’ tis of thee, sweet land of liberty, of thee i sing:
land where my fathers died, land of the pilgrims’ pride, from every mountainside let freedom ring.
and if america is to be a great nation this must become true. so let freedom ring from the prodigious hilltops of new hampshire. let freedom ring from the mighty mountains of new york!
let freedom ring from the heightening alleghenies of pennsylvania! let freedom ring from the snowcapped rockies of colorado! let freedom ring from the curvaceous slopes of california!
but not only that; let freedom ring from stone mountain of georgia! let freedom ring from lookout mountain of tennessee! let freedom ring from every hill and molehill of mississippi!
from every mountainside, let freedom ring!
when we let freedom ring, when we let it ring from every village and every hamlet, from every state and every city, we will be able to speed up that day when all of god’s children, black men and white men, jews and gentiles, protestants and catholics, will be able to join hands and sing in the words of the old negro spiritual, “free at last! free at last! thank god almighty, we are free at last!”
下面分享是以“我有一個(gè)夢(mèng)想”為主題而寫的演講稿,內(nèi)容很豐富,大家敬請(qǐng)關(guān)注。
每個(gè)人都有自己的夢(mèng)想,也許你的夢(mèng)想是當(dāng)一名為人民服務(wù)的警察,或是一名能說(shuō)會(huì)道的記者、導(dǎo)游。而我的夢(mèng)想是當(dāng)一名人民教師。
我認(rèn)為老師是非常神圣的,非常偉大的。是老師,把一個(gè)不懂事的孩子教育成一個(gè)尊敬師長(zhǎng),明事理的好孩子;是老師,把一個(gè)貪玩的孩子培養(yǎng)成一個(gè)勤學(xué)好問(wèn),力求上進(jìn)的好學(xué)生。老師用知識(shí)甘露,澆開(kāi)學(xué)生理想的花朵,用心靈的清泉潤(rùn)育學(xué)生情操的美果。如果把學(xué)生比作祖國(guó)的花朵,那老師就是一位園丁,老師為祖國(guó)的花朵修枝剪葉,施肥除草,使祖國(guó)的花朵茁壯成長(zhǎng)。如果把學(xué)生比作迷失方向的羔羊,那老師就是那位指路人,老師為學(xué)生指明方向,使學(xué)生明確自己的方向。
所以,我的夢(mèng)想是當(dāng)老師。老師能夠?yàn)樽鎳?guó)、為人民培養(yǎng)出人才,作出貢獻(xiàn)。小時(shí)候,我有過(guò)許多夢(mèng)想,有美麗的文學(xué)夢(mèng),有繽紛的明星夢(mèng),也有美妙的設(shè)計(jì)師的夢(mèng)。長(zhǎng)大后,我從不斷的學(xué)習(xí)中,找到了我真正的夢(mèng)想,找到了能夠?yàn)樽鎳?guó)、為人民作出貢獻(xiàn)的夢(mèng)想,那就是當(dāng)老師。
我想,以我現(xiàn)在的知識(shí)基礎(chǔ),想要實(shí)現(xiàn)我的夢(mèng)想,那簡(jiǎn)直就是癡心妄想。所以,我一定要好好學(xué)習(xí),在課前做好預(yù)習(xí),課堂中認(rèn)真聽(tīng)講,課后認(rèn)真復(fù)習(xí),還要多讀課外書(shū),也要養(yǎng)成良好的道德品質(zhì),畢竟有美好的品格也是做老師的一個(gè)基本原則。
我知道,再多燦爛的話語(yǔ)也只不過(guò)是一瞬間的智慧與激情,只有努力學(xué)習(xí)才是開(kāi)在成功之路上的鮮花。所以,我一定會(huì)好好學(xué)習(xí),努力奮斗,為實(shí)現(xiàn)我的夢(mèng)想而努力學(xué)習(xí)。我相信,夢(mèng)想雖然很遙遠(yuǎn),但只要堅(jiān)持下去,行動(dòng)起來(lái),就一定會(huì)有實(shí)現(xiàn)的一天!
【我有一個(gè)夢(mèng)想演講稿】
一百年前,一位偉大的美國(guó)人簽署了解放黑奴宣言,今天我們就是在他的雕像前集會(huì)。這一莊嚴(yán)宣言猶如燈塔的光芒,給千百萬(wàn)在那摧殘生命的不義之火中受煎熬的黑奴帶來(lái)了希望。它的到來(lái)猶如歡樂(lè)的黎明,結(jié)束了束縛黑人的漫漫長(zhǎng)夜。
然而一百年后的今天,黑人還沒(méi)有得到自由,一百年后的今天,在種族隔離的鐐銬和種族歧視的枷鎖下,黑人的生活備受壓榨。一百年后的今天,黑人仍生活在物質(zhì)充裕的海洋中一個(gè)貧困的孤島上。一百年后的今天,黑人仍然萎縮在美國(guó)社會(huì)的角落里,并且意識(shí)到自己是故土家園中的流-亡者。今天我們?cè)谶@里集會(huì),就是要把這種駭人聽(tīng)聞的情況公諸于眾。
我并非沒(méi)有注意到,參加今天集會(huì)的人中,有些受盡苦難和折磨,有些剛剛走出窄小的牢房,有些由于尋求自由,曾早居住地慘遭瘋狂迫-害的打擊,并在警-察暴行的旋風(fēng)中搖搖欲墜。你們是人為痛苦的長(zhǎng)期受難者。堅(jiān)持下去吧,要堅(jiān)決相信,忍受不應(yīng)得的痛苦是一種贖罪。
讓我們回到密西西比去,回到阿拉巴馬去,回到南卡羅萊納去,回到佐治亞去,回到路易斯安那去,回到我們北方城市中的貧民區(qū)和少數(shù)民族居住區(qū)去,要心中有數(shù),這種狀況是能夠也必將改變的。我們不要陷入絕望而不能自拔。
朋友們,今天我對(duì)你們說(shuō),在此時(shí)此刻,我們雖然遭受種種困難和挫折,我仍然有一個(gè)夢(mèng)想。這個(gè)夢(mèng)是深深扎根于美國(guó)的夢(mèng)想中的。
我夢(mèng)想有一天,這個(gè)國(guó)家會(huì)站立起來(lái),真正實(shí)現(xiàn)其信條的真諦:“我們認(rèn)為這些真理是不言而喻的;人人生而平等。”
我夢(mèng)想有一天,在佐治亞的紅山上,昔日奴隸的兒子將能夠和昔日奴隸主的兒子坐在一起,共敘兄弟情誼。
我夢(mèng)想有一天,甚至連密西西比州這個(gè)正義匿跡,壓迫成風(fēng),如同沙漠般的地方,也將變成自由和正義的綠洲。
我夢(mèng)想有一天,我的四個(gè)孩子將在一個(gè)不是以他們的膚色,而是以他們的品格優(yōu)劣來(lái)評(píng)判他們的國(guó)度里生活。
我今天有一個(gè)夢(mèng)想。
我夢(mèng)想有一天,阿拉巴馬州能夠有所轉(zhuǎn)變,盡管該州州長(zhǎng)現(xiàn)在仍然滿口異議,反對(duì)聯(lián)邦法令,但有著一日,那里的黑人男孩和女孩將能夠與白人男孩和女孩情同骨肉,攜手并進(jìn)。
我今天有一個(gè)夢(mèng)想。
我夢(mèng)想有一天,幽谷上升,高山下降,坎坷曲折之路成坦途,圣光披露,滿照人間。
這就是我們的希望。我懷著這種信念回到南方。有了這個(gè)信念,我們將能從絕望之嶺劈出一塊希望之石。有了這個(gè)信念,我們將能把這個(gè)國(guó)家刺耳的爭(zhēng)吵聲,改變成為一支洋溢手足之情的優(yōu)美交響曲。有了這個(gè)信念,我們將能一起工作,一起祈禱,一起斗爭(zhēng),一起坐牢,一起維護(hù)自由;因?yàn)槲覀冎溃K有一天,我們是會(huì)自由的。
在自由到來(lái)的那一天,上帝的所有兒女們將以新的含義高唱這支歌:“我的祖國(guó),美麗的自由之鄉(xiāng),我為您歌唱。您是父輩逝去的地方,您是最初移民的驕傲,讓自由之聲響徹每個(gè)山岡。”
如果美國(guó)要成為一個(gè)偉大的國(guó)家,這個(gè)夢(mèng)想必須實(shí)現(xiàn)。讓自由之聲從新罕布什爾州的巍峨峰巔響起來(lái)!讓自由之聲從紐約州的崇山峻嶺響起來(lái)!讓自由之聲從賓夕法尼亞州阿勒格尼山的頂峰響起!讓自由之聲從科羅拉多州冰雪覆蓋的落磯山響起來(lái)!讓自由之聲從加利福尼亞州蜿蜒的群峰響起來(lái)!不僅如此,還要讓自由之聲從佐治亞州的石嶺響起來(lái)!讓自由之聲從田納西州的了望山響起來(lái)!讓自由之聲從密西西比州的每一座丘陵響起來(lái)!讓自由之聲從每一片山坡響起來(lái)。
當(dāng)我們讓自由之聲響起來(lái),讓自由之聲從每一個(gè)大小村莊、每一個(gè)州和每一個(gè)城市響起來(lái)時(shí),我們將能夠加速這一天的到來(lái),那時(shí),上帝的所有兒女,黑人和白人,猶太人和非猶太人,新教徒和天主教徒,都將手?jǐn)y手,合唱一首古老的黑人靈歌:“終于自由啦!終于自由啦!感謝全能的上帝,我們終于自由啦!”
【我有一個(gè)夢(mèng)想演講稿】
尊敬的老師、家長(zhǎng)們,親愛(ài)的同學(xué)們:
你們好!
今天我演講的題目是《我有一個(gè)夢(mèng)想》。
我們的人生并不是一條平坦的陽(yáng)光大道,路上有黑暗,我們的心會(huì)迷失。這時(shí)候,我們就需要一盞燈 引導(dǎo)我們走出迷宮。而那盞燈,就是我們的夢(mèng)想。
今天,我們?cè)谶@里談?wù)搲?mèng)想,或大或小。但我不想說(shuō)什么夢(mèng)想世界和平,夢(mèng)想壞境美好的空話。于我而言,此時(shí)此刻看,我只想與你們談?wù)撟约旱奈磥?lái)。
我有一個(gè)夢(mèng)想,夢(mèng)想我有一輛車,一輛能坐下四個(gè)人的車,拉著我最好的友人奔向大海。一路上 我們聽(tīng)著激情澎湃的歌,開(kāi)著無(wú)關(guān)痛癢的玩笑,輪番地開(kāi)著夜車。餓了,去路邊 陌生但有特色的飯館吃飯;累了,去干凈的旅館 做一個(gè)悠長(zhǎng)的夢(mèng)。等到達(dá)一望無(wú)際的大海。在夜晚的沙灘上 生起篝火,我們圍坐在火堆旁 嬉笑打鬧。喝著啤酒,紅通通的臉上 都是肆無(wú)忌憚的的笑,對(duì)著疊著影子的月亮 歇斯底里地喊著。沒(méi)有忌諱,沒(méi)有拘謹(jǐn),因?yàn)?我們是最好的朋友!
我有一個(gè)夢(mèng)想,夢(mèng)想以后能再見(jiàn)到許久沒(méi)有聯(lián)系的朋友們,和他們聊聊那個(gè)時(shí)候的事情,那個(gè)時(shí)候的人都過(guò)得好不好。想找個(gè)機(jī)會(huì)坦誠(chéng)地告訴他們,這輩子能和你做朋友很幸福!
我有一個(gè)夢(mèng)想,夢(mèng)想以后進(jìn)入社會(huì),我身邊的人不會(huì)那么功利,不會(huì)那么自私。夢(mèng)想自己有一天不會(huì)為了金錢而去施計(jì)陷害,不會(huì)為了利益而弄丟單純的快樂(lè),不會(huì)讓朋友看到窮兇極惡的我而敬而遠(yuǎn)之。
我有一個(gè)夢(mèng)想,從今天開(kāi)始,幫自己一個(gè)忙,不再承受身外目光,不必在意他人的評(píng)價(jià),為自己活著;從今天開(kāi)始,幫自己一個(gè)忙,做喜歡的事情,愛(ài)最親近的人,拋棄偽裝的面具,不再束縛情感的空間;從今天開(kāi)始,幫自己一個(gè)忙,卸下所有的負(fù)擔(dān),忘卻曾經(jīng)的疼痛,撫平心靈的創(chuàng)傷,讓自己活得輕松而充盈。從今天開(kāi)始,看書(shū)、寫、唱歌、涂鴉,給每一個(gè)日子取一個(gè)溫暖的名,做一個(gè)賞心悅目的人。
我有一個(gè)夢(mèng)想,就是單純的充實(shí)的過(guò)著每一天。
你們可能會(huì)笑我的夢(mèng)想太過(guò)平庸?墒菬o(wú)論是什么樣的夢(mèng)想,都不是一種簡(jiǎn)簡(jiǎn)單單的口號(hào),它更是一種實(shí)際的行動(dòng)!夢(mèng)想,是生命中最有意義的一種信仰。夢(mèng)想,就是不相信命運(yùn)就等于命+運(yùn),相信除了你自己,沒(méi)有人能書(shū)寫你的命運(yùn)。
我們要相信,其實(shí)天不暗,陰云終要散;其實(shí)海不寬,此岸連彼岸;其實(shí)路不險(xiǎn),條條路可攀;其實(shí)夢(mèng)想不遙遠(yuǎn),一切都會(huì)實(shí)現(xiàn)……不論多么偉大抑或是多么平淡無(wú)奇的理想,也要不斷的向上!
汪國(guó)真在文章中寫道:“只要春天還在,我就不會(huì)悲哀,縱使黑夜吞噬了一切,太陽(yáng)還可以重新回來(lái);只要生命還在,我就不會(huì)悲哀,縱使陷身茫茫沙漠,還有希望的綠洲的存在;只要明天還在,我就不會(huì)悲哀,冬雪終會(huì)悄悄融化融化,春雷定將滾滾而來(lái)。”
所以,當(dāng)你有一個(gè)美麗的夢(mèng)想時(shí),記住一定要勇往直前,只有你盡力了,才有資格說(shuō)你運(yùn)氣不好。我相信,多年后的那個(gè)你,一定會(huì)感謝現(xiàn)在拼命努力的你!
謝謝大家,我的演講完畢!
i have a dream by martin luther king, jr.
我有一個(gè)夢(mèng)想。馬丁路德金
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,我高興地同大家一起,參加這次將成為我國(guó)歷史上為了爭(zhēng)取自由而舉行的最偉大的示威集會(huì)。
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.
1XX年前,一位偉大的美國(guó)人——今天我們就站在他象征性的身影下——簽署了《解放宣言》。這項(xiàng)重要法令的頒布,對(duì)于千百萬(wàn)灼烤于非正義殘焰中的黑奴,猶如帶來(lái)希望之光的碩大燈塔,恰似結(jié)束漫漫長(zhǎng)夜禁錮的歡暢黎明。
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.
然而,1XX年后,黑人依然沒(méi)有獲得自由。1XX年后,黑人依然悲慘地蹣跚于種族隔離和種族歧視的枷鎖之下。1XX年后,黑人依然生活在物質(zhì)繁榮翰海的貧困孤島上。1XX年后,黑人依然在美國(guó)社會(huì)中間向隅而泣,依然感到自己在國(guó)土家園中流離漂泊。所以,我們今天來(lái)到這里,要把這駭人聽(tīng)聞的情況公諸于眾。
in a sense we've come to our nation's capital to cash a check. 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 heir. 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." it is obvious today that america has defaulted on this promissory note, insofar as her citizens of color are concerned. instead of honoring this sacred obligation, america has given the negro people a bad check, a check which has come back marked "insufficient funds."
從某種意義上說(shuō),我們來(lái)到國(guó)家的首都是為了兌現(xiàn)一張支票。我們共和國(guó)的締造者在擬寫憲法和獨(dú)立宣言的輝煌篇章時(shí),就簽署了一張每一個(gè)美國(guó)人都能繼承的期票。這張期票向所有人承諾——不論白人還是黑人——都享有不可讓渡的生存權(quán)、自由權(quán)和追求幸福權(quán)。
but we refuse to believe that the bank of justice is bankrupt. we refuse to believe that there are insufficient funds in the great vaults of opportunity of this nation. 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.
然而,今天美國(guó)顯然對(duì)她的有色公民拖欠著這張期票。美國(guó)沒(méi)有承兌這筆神圣的債務(wù),而是開(kāi)始給黑人一張空頭支票——一張蓋著“資金不足”的印戳被退回的支票。但是,我們決不相信正義的銀行會(huì)破產(chǎn)。我們決不相信這個(gè)國(guó)家巨大的機(jī)會(huì)寶庫(kù)會(huì)資金不足。
we have also come to this hallowed spot to remind america of the fierce urgency of now. this is no time to engage in the luxury of cooling off or to take the tranquilizing drug of gradualism. now is the time to make real the promises of democracy. now is the time to rise from the dark and desolate valley of segregation to the sunlit path of racial justice. now is the time to lift our nation from the quicksands of racial injustice to the solid rock of brotherhood. now is the time to make justice a reality for all of god's children.
因此,我們來(lái)兌現(xiàn)這張支票。這張支票將給我們以寶貴的自由和正義的保障。我們來(lái)到這塊圣地還為了提醒美國(guó):現(xiàn)在正是萬(wàn)分緊急的時(shí)刻。現(xiàn)在不是從容不迫悠然行事或服用漸進(jìn)主義鎮(zhèn)靜劑的時(shí)候,F(xiàn)在是實(shí)現(xiàn)民主諾言的時(shí)候,F(xiàn)在是走出幽暗荒涼的種族隔離深谷,踏上種族平等的陽(yáng)關(guān)大道的時(shí)候,F(xiàn)在是使我們國(guó)家走出種族不平等的流沙,踏上充滿手足之情的磐石的時(shí)候,F(xiàn)在是使上帝所有孩子真正享有公正的時(shí)候。
it would be fatal for the nation to overlook the urgency of the moment. this sweltering summer of the negro's legitimate discontent will not pass until there is an invigorating autumn of freedom and equality. nineteen sixty-three is not an end, but a beginning. 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 returns to business as usual. and there will be neither rest nor tranquility in america until the negro is granted his citizenship rights. the whirlwinds of revolt will continue to shake the foundations of our nation until the bright day of justice emerges.
忽視這一時(shí)刻的緊迫性,對(duì)于國(guó)家將會(huì)是致命的。自由平等的朗朗秋日不到來(lái),黑人順情合理哀怨的酷暑就不會(huì)過(guò)去。1963年不是一個(gè)結(jié)束,而是一個(gè)開(kāi)端。 如果國(guó)家依然我行我素,那些希望黑人只需出出氣就會(huì)心滿意足的人將大失所望。在黑人得到公民權(quán)之前,美國(guó)既不會(huì)安寧,也不會(huì)平靜。反抗的旋風(fēng)將繼續(xù)震撼我們國(guó)家的基石,直至光輝燦爛的正義之日來(lái)臨。
but there is something that i must say to my people, who stand on the warm threshold which leads into the palace of justice: in the process of gaining our rightful place, we must not be guilty of wrongful deeds. let us not seek to satisfy our thirst for freedom by drinking from the cup of bitterness and hatred. we must forever conduct our struggle on the high plane of dignity and discipline.
但是,對(duì)于站在通向正義之宮艱險(xiǎn)門檻上的人們,有一些話我必須要說(shuō)。在我們爭(zhēng)取合法地位的過(guò)程中,切不要錯(cuò)誤行事導(dǎo)致犯罪。我們切不要吞飲仇恨辛酸的苦酒,來(lái)解除對(duì)于自由的飲渴。 我們應(yīng)該永遠(yuǎn)得體地、紀(jì)律嚴(yán)明地進(jìn)行斗爭(zhēng)。
we must not allow our creative protest to degenerate into physical violence. again and again, we must rise to the majestic heights of meeting physical force with soul force.
我們不能容許我們富有創(chuàng)造性的抗議淪為暴力行動(dòng)。我們應(yīng)該不斷升華到用靈魂力量對(duì)付肉體力量的崇高境界。
the marvelous new militancy which has engulfed the negro community must not lead us to a distrust of all white people, for many of our white brothers, as evidenced by their presence here today, have come to realize that their destiny is tied up with our destiny. and they have come to realize that their freedom is inextricably bound to our freedom.
席卷黑人社會(huì)的新的奇跡般的戰(zhàn)斗精神,不應(yīng)導(dǎo)致我們對(duì)所有白人的不信任——因?yàn)樵S多白人兄弟已經(jīng)認(rèn)識(shí)到:他們的命運(yùn)同我們的命運(yùn)緊密相連,他們的自由同我們的自由休戚相關(guān)。他們今天來(lái)到這里參加集會(huì)就是明證。
we cannot walk alone. and as we walk, we must make the pledge that we shall always march ahead. we cannot turn back. there are those who are asking the devotees of civil rights, "when will you be satisfied?" we can never be satisfied as long as the negro is the victim of the unspeakable horrors of police brutality. we can never be satisfied as long as our bodies, heavy with the fatigue of travel, cannot gain lodging in the motels of the highways and the hotels of the cities. we cannot be satisfied as long as a negro in mississippi cannot vote and a negro in new york believes he has nothing for which to vote. no, no, we are not satisfied, and we will not be satisfied until "justice rolls down like waters, and righteousness like a mighty stream."
我們不能單獨(dú)行動(dòng)。當(dāng)我們行動(dòng)時(shí),我們必須保證勇往直前。我們不能后退。有人問(wèn)熱心民權(quán)運(yùn)動(dòng)的人:“你們什么時(shí)候會(huì)感到滿意?”只要黑人依然是不堪形容的警察暴行恐怖的犧牲品,我們就決不會(huì)滿意。只要我們?cè)诼猛緞陬D后,卻被公路旁汽車游客旅社和城市旅館拒之門外,我們就決不會(huì)滿意。只要黑人的基本活動(dòng)范圍只限于從狹小的黑人居住區(qū)到較大的黑人居住區(qū),我們就決不會(huì)滿意。只要我們的孩子被“僅供白人”的牌子剝奪個(gè)性,損毀尊嚴(yán),我們就決不會(huì)滿意。只要密西西比州的黑人不能參加選舉,紐約州的黑人認(rèn)為他們與選舉毫不相干,我們就決不會(huì)滿意。不,不,我們不會(huì)滿意,直至公正似水奔流,正義如泉噴涌。
i am not unmindful that some of you have come here out of great trials and tribulations. some of you have come fresh from narrow jail cells. and some of you have come from areas where your quest -- quest for freedom left you battered by the storms of persecution and staggered by the winds of police brutality. you have been the veterans of creative suffering. continue to work with the faith that unearned suffering is redemptive. go back to mississippi, go back to alabama, go back to south carolina, go back to georgia, go back to louisiana, go back to the slums and ghettos of our northern cities, knowing that somehow this situation can and will be changed.
我并非沒(méi)有注意到你們有些人歷盡艱難困苦來(lái)到這里。你們有些人剛剛走出狹小的牢房。有些人來(lái)自因追求自由而遭受迫害風(fēng)暴襲擊和警察暴虐狂飆摧殘的地區(qū)。你們飽經(jīng)風(fēng)霜,歷盡苦難。繼續(xù)努力吧,要相信:無(wú)辜受苦終得拯救。 回到密西西比去吧;回到亞拉巴馬去吧;回到南卡羅來(lái)納去吧;回到佐治亞去吧;回到路易斯安那去吧;回到我們北方城市中的貧民窟和黑人居住區(qū)去吧。要知道,這種情況能夠而且將會(huì)改變。我們切不要在絕望的深淵里沉淪。
let us not wallow in the valley of despair, i say to you today, my friends. 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.
朋友們,今天我要對(duì)你們說(shuō),盡管眼下困難重重,但我依然懷有一個(gè)夢(mèng)。這個(gè)夢(mèng)深深植根于美國(guó)夢(mèng)之中。
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.
我夢(mèng)想有一天,這個(gè)國(guó)家將會(huì)奮起,實(shí)現(xiàn)其立國(guó)信條的真諦:“我們認(rèn)為這些真理不言而喻:人人生而平等。” 我夢(mèng)想有一天,在佐治亞州的紅色山崗上,昔日奴隸的兒子能夠同昔日奴隸主的兒子同席而坐,親如手足。
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 one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin but by the content of their character.
我夢(mèng)想有一天,甚至連密西西比州——一個(gè)非正義和壓迫的熱浪逼人的荒漠之州,也會(huì)改造成為自由和公正的青青綠洲。
我夢(mèng)想有一天,我的四個(gè)小女兒將生活在一個(gè)不是以皮膚的顏色,而是以品格的優(yōu)劣作為評(píng)判標(biāo)準(zhǔn)的國(guó)家里。
i have a dream today!
i have a dream that one day, down in alabama, with its vicious racists, with its governor having his lips dripping with the words of "interposition" and "nullification" -- one day right there in alabama little black boys and black girls will be able to join hands with little white boys and white girls as sisters and brothers.
i have a dream today!
i have a dream that one day every valley shall be exalted, and every hill and mountain shall be made low, the rough places will be made plain, and the crooked places will be made straight; "and the glory of the lord shall be revealed and all flesh shall see it together."?
我今天懷有一個(gè)夢(mèng)。
我夢(mèng)想有一天,亞拉巴馬州會(huì)有所改變——盡管該州州長(zhǎng)現(xiàn)在仍滔滔不絕地說(shuō)什么要對(duì)聯(lián)邦法令提出異議和拒絕執(zhí)行——在那里,黑人兒童能夠和白人兒童兄弟姐妹般地?cái)y手并行。
我今天懷有一個(gè)夢(mèng)。
我夢(mèng)想有一天,深谷彌合,高山夷平,歧路化坦途,曲徑成通衢,上帝的光華再現(xiàn),普天下生靈共謁。
this is our hope, and this is the faith that i go back to the south with. with this faith, we will be able to hew out of the mountain of despair a stone of hope. with this faith, we will be able to transform the jangling discords of our nation into a beautiful symphony of brotherhood. with this faith, we will be able to work together, to pray together, to struggle together, to go to jail together, to stand up for freedom together, knowing that we will be free one day.
這是我們的希望。這是我將帶回南方去的信念。有了這個(gè)信念,我們就能從絕望之山開(kāi)采出希望之石。有了這個(gè)信念,我們就能把這個(gè)國(guó)家的嘈雜刺耳的爭(zhēng)吵聲,變?yōu)槌錆M手足之情的悅耳交響曲。有了這個(gè)信念,我們就能一同工作,一同祈禱,一同斗爭(zhēng),一同入獄,一同維護(hù)自由,因?yàn)槲覀冎,我們終有一天會(huì)獲得自由。
and this will be the day -- this will be the day when all of god's children will be able to sing with new meaning:
到了這一天,上帝的所有孩子都能以新的含義高唱這首歌:
my country 'tis of thee, sweet land of liberty, of thee i sing.
land where my fathers died, land of the pilgrim's pride,
from every mountainside, let freedom ring!
and if america is to be a great nation, this must become true.
我的祖國(guó), 可愛(ài)的自由之邦, 我為您歌唱。 這是我祖先終老的地方, 這是早期移民自豪的地方, 讓自由之聲, 響徹每一座山崗。如果美國(guó)要成為偉大的國(guó)家,這一點(diǎn)必須實(shí)現(xiàn)。因此,讓自由之聲響徹新罕布什爾州的巍峨高峰!
and so let freedom ring from the prodigious hilltops of new hampshire.
let freedom ring from the mighty mountains of new york.
let freedom ring from the heightening alleghenies of pennsylvania.
let freedom ring from the snow-capped rockies of colorado.
let freedom ring from the curvaceous slopes of california.
but not only that:
let freedom ring from stone mountain of georgia.
let freedom ring from lookout mountain of tennessee.
let freedom ring from every hill and molehill of mississippi.
讓自由之聲響徹紐約州的崇山峻嶺!
讓自由之聲響徹賓夕法尼亞州的阿勒格尼高峰!
讓自由之聲響徹科羅拉多州冰雪皚皚的洛基山!
讓自由之聲響徹加利福尼亞州的婀娜群峰!
不,不僅如此;讓自由之聲響徹佐治亞州的石山!
讓自由之聲響徹田納西州的望山!
讓自由之聲響徹密西西比州的一座座山峰,一個(gè)個(gè)土丘!
讓自由之聲響徹每一個(gè)山崗!
from every mountainside, let freedom ring. and when this happens, when we allow freedom ring, when we let it ring from every village and every hamlet, from every state and every city, we will be able to speed up that day when all of god's children, black men and white men, jews and gentiles, protestants and catholics, will be able to join hands and sing in the words of the old negro spiritual: free at last! free at last!
當(dāng)我們讓自由之聲轟響,當(dāng)我們讓自由之聲響徹每一個(gè)大村小莊,每一個(gè)州府城鎮(zhèn),我們就能加速這一天的到來(lái)。那時(shí),上帝的所有孩子,黑人和白人,猶太教徒和非猶太教徒,耶穌教徒和天主教徒,將能攜手同唱那首古老的黑人靈歌:“終于自由了!終于自由了!感謝全能的上帝,我們終于自由了!”
