2008-06-28来源:和谐英语
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 wil1 rise up and live out the true meaning of its creed: “We hold these truths to be self-evident; that all men are created equa1.”
I have a dream that one day on the red hills of Georgia the sons of former slaves and the sons of former s1aveowners 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 desert 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; 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, every hill and mountain shall be made low, and rough places will be made plane and 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.
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!

  朋友们,今天我要对你们说,尽管今天和明天困难重重,但我依然怀有一个梦。这个梦深植于美国梦之中。
  我梦想有一天,这个国家将会奋起,实现其立国信条的真谛:“我们认为这些真理不言而喻:人人生而平等。”
  我梦想有一天,在佐治亚州的红色山冈上,昔日奴隶的儿子能够同昔日奴隶主的儿子同席而坐,亲如手足;
我梦想有一天甚至连密西西比州,一个非正义和压迫的热浪逼人的荒漠之州,也会改造成自由和公正的青青绿洲;
我梦想有一天,我的四个小儿女将生活在一个不是以肤色,而是以品格的优劣作为评判标准的国家里;我今天怀有一个梦。
我梦想有一天,亚拉巴马州会有所改变--尽管那儿种族主义者猖獗,尽管该州州长仍在滔滔不绝地说什么要对联邦法令提出异议和拒绝执行,但总有一天,那儿的黑人儿童能够与白人儿童兄弟姐妹般地携手并行;我今天怀有一个梦。
我梦想有一天,深谷弥合,高山夷平,崎路化坦途,曲径成通衢,上帝的光华再现,普天下生灵共谒。
  这就是我们的希望,这就是我将带回南方去的信念。有了这个信念,我们就能从绝望之山开采出希望之石。有了这个信念,我们就能把这个国家嘈杂刺耳的争吵声,变为充满手足之情的悦耳交响曲。有了这个信念,我们就能一同工作,一同祈祷,一同斗争,一同入狱,一同维护自由。因为我们知道,我们终有一天会获得自由。
让自由之声响彻科罗拉多白雪皑皑的洛基山!
  让自由之声响彻加利福尼亚州的婀娜群峰!
  不,不仅如此;让自由之声响彻佐治亚州的石山!
  让自由之声响彻田纳西州的了望山!
  让自由之声响彻密西西比州的一座座山峰,一个个土丘。让自由之声响彻每一个山冈!
