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..

< br>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. 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.

一百年前，

一位伟大的美国人签署了解

放黑奴宣言，

今天我们就是在他的雕像前集会。

这一庄严宣言犹

如灯塔的光芒，

给千百万在那摧残生命的不义之火中受煎熬的黑

奴带来了希望。

它的到来犹如欢乐的黎明，

结束了束缚黑人的漫

漫长夜。

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.

然而一百年后的

今天，黑人还没有得到 自由，一百年后的今天，在种族隔离的镣

铐和种族歧视的枷锁下，

黑人的生活备受压榨。

一百年后的今天，

黑人仍生活在物质充 裕的海洋中一个贫困的孤岛上。

一百年后的

今天，

黑人仍然萎缩在美国社会的角落里，

并且意识到自己是故

土家园中的流亡者。

今天我们在这里集会，

就是要把这种骇 人听

闻的情况公诸于众。

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

Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.

就某种意义而言，今

天我们是为了要求兑现诺言而汇集到我们国家的首都来的。

我们

共和国的缔造者草拟宪法和独立宣言的气壮山河的词句时，

曾向

每一个美国人许下了诺言，

他们承诺给予所有的人以生存、

自由

和追求幸福的不可剥夺的权利。

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

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.

就有色公民而论，

美国显然没有实践她的诺言。

美国没有履行这

项神圣的义务， 只是给黑人开了一张空头支票，支票上盖着“资

金不足”

的戳子 后便退了回来。

但是我们不相信正义的银行已经
