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

the

shameful

condition.

然而一百年后的今天

,

我们却不得不面对黑人依然没有自由这一可悲的事实

.

一百年后的今天

,

黑人的生

活依然悲惨的套这种族隔离和歧视的枷锁

.

一百年后的今天

,

在物质富裕的汪洋大海中

,

黑人依然生活在贫乏

的孤岛之上

.

一百年后的今天

,

黑人依然在美国社会的阴暗角落里艰难挣扎

,

在自己的国土上受到放逐

.

所以

我们今天到这里来揭露这骇人听闻的事实

.

Losing a job is considered one of the five most stressful life changes you can experience. Those

who have been there say it feels like being robbed of your identity and is as painful as the loss of

a

loved

one.

The

anxiety

that

results

can

shake

up

your

life.

It

’

s

normal

to

feel

panicky

about

finances,

nervous

about

the

job

search

process,

or

lonely

for

your

old

community

of

coworkers.

And

many

downsized

employees are left wondering what they could have done to prevent being let go (even when it clearly

wasn

’

t their fault). Whether you were expecting the cut or were shocked by the news, these emotions

can leave you feeling paralyzed and unsure of what to do next.

丢掉工作被看作是人所能经历的最令人忧心的

种生活变化之一

.

那些品尝国这般滋味的人说

,

这种感觉

就像是你的身份被剥夺

,

并且如同失去爱的人一般痛苦

.

它所引起的焦虑能打乱你的生活

.

对经济来源感到惶

恐

,

对找工作的过程心怀忐忑

,

或者离开 了昔日的同事群体而感到孤独寂寞

----

这些都不足为奇

.

许多遭到裁

减的员工在琢磨他们原本可 以作些什么来避免被炒鱿鱼

(

即便明显并非他们的过错

).

不管你对裁员是早有预料

还是对这个消息 感到震惊

,

这些情感都会让你不知所措并且弄不清下一步该怎么办

The first snow came. How beautiful it was, falling so silently all day long, all night long, on

the mountains, on the meadows, on the roofs of the living, on the graves of the dead! All white save

the

river,

that

marked

its

course

by

a

winding

black

line

across

the

landscape;

and

the

leafless

trees,

that against the leaden sky now revealed more fully the wonderful beauty and intricacies of their

branches. What silence, too, came with the snow, and what seclusion! Every sound was muffled, every

noise changed

to something soft and

musical. No

more tramping

hoofs, to

no more rattling wheels! Only

the chiming of sleigh- bells, beating as swift and merrily as the hearts of children.

初雪飘临

.

多么美啊

!

它整日整夜那么静静地飘着

,

落在山岭上

,

落在草地上

,

落在世人的屋顶

,

落在死

者的坟墓上

!

在一片白茫茫之中

,

只有河流在美丽的画面上划出一道曲曲弯弯的黑线

;

还有那叶儿落尽的树木

,

映衬着浅灰色的天空

,

此刻显得枝丫交错

,

姿态万千

.

初雪飘落时

,

是何等的宁谧

,

何等的幽静

!

一切

声响都

趋沉寂

,

一切噪音都化作柔和的音乐

.

再也听不见马蹄得得

,

再也听不见车轮辚辚

!

唯有雪橇的铃铛

,

奏出和

谐的乐声

,

那明快欢乐的节拍犹如孩子们心房的搏动

.

An

hour

before

sunrise

in

the

city

there

is

an

air

of

cold,

solitary

desolation

about

the

noiseless

streets, which we are accustomed to see thronged at other times by a busy, eager crowd, and over the

quiet, closely shut buildings which throughout the day are swarming with life. The drunken, the

the

criminal

disappeared;

the

part

population

have

not yet awakened to the labors of the day, and the stillness of death is over the streets; its very

hue

seems

and

seven

years

ago

our

fathers

brought

forth

on

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.

This time is now near at hand which must probably determine whether Americans are to be freemen

or slaves; whether they are to have any property they can call their own; whether their houses and

farms

are

to

be

pillaged

and

destroyed,

and

themselves

consigned

to

a

state

of

wretchedness

from

which

no human efforts will deliver them. The fate of unborn millions will now depend, under God, on the

courage

and

conduct

of

this

army.

Our

cruel

and

unrelenting

enemy

leaves

us

only

the

choice

of

a

brave

resistance or the most abject submission. We have, therefore, to resolve to conquer or to die.
