1、精选优质文档-倾情为你奉上Gettysburg Address 葛底斯堡演说Abraham Lincoln 亚伯拉罕林肯（美国第16任总统）Four score 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.八十七年以前，我们的祖先在这块大陆上创立了一个孕育于自由的新国家，他们主张人人生而平等，并为此而献身。（在八

2、十七年前，我们的们创建一个新的国家，乃基于对自由的坚信，并致力于所有人皆生而平等的信念。）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 battle field of that war. We have come to dedicate a portion of that field, as a final resting place

3、for those who here gave their lives to that nation might live. It is altogether fitting and proper that we should do this.现在我们正进行一场伟大的内战，这是一场检验这一国家或者任何一个像我们这样孕育于自由并信守其主张的国家是否能长久存在的战争。我们聚集在这场战争中一个伟大战场上，将这个战场上的一块土地奉献给那些在此地为了这个国家的生存而牺牲了自己生命的人，作为他们的最终安息之所。我们这样做是完全适当和正确的。（当下吾等被卷入一场伟大的内战，以考验是否此国度，或任何肇基于和奉

4、献于斯者，可永垂不朽。吾等现相逢于此战中一处浩大战场。而吾等将奉献此战场之部分，作为这群交付彼者生命让那国度勉能生存的人们最后安息之处。此乃全然妥切且适当而为吾人应行之举。）But, in a larger sense, we can not dedicatewe can not consecratewe can not hallowthis ground. The brave men, living and dead, who struggled here, have consecrated it, far above our poor power to add or detract. Th

5、e world will little note, nor long remember what we say here, but it can never forget what they did here. It is for us the living, rather, to be dedicated here to the unfinished work which they who fought here have thus far so nobly advanced. It is rather for us to be here dedicated to the great tas

6、k remaining before us that from these honored dead we take increased devotion to that cause for which they gave the last full measure of devotion that we here highly resolve that these dead shall not have died in vain that this nation, under God, shall have a new birth of freedom and that government

7、 of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the earth.可是，从更广的意义上说，我们并不能奉献这块土地我们不能使之神圣我们也不能使之光荣。为那些在此地奋战过的，不论是还活着的或是已死去的，已经使这块圣了，远非我们微薄的力量所能予以增减的。世人将不大会注意，更不会长久们在这里所说的话，然而,他们将永远不会忘记这些在这里所做的事。相反地，我们活着的人，应该献身于未竟的工作，那些曾在此战斗过的人们已经把这项工作英勇地向前推进了。我们应该献身于留在我们面前的伟大任务由于他们的光荣牺牲，我们会更加献身于

8、他们为之奉献了最后一切的事业我们要下定决心使那些死去的人不致白白牺牲要使这个国家在上帝的庇佑下，获得自由的新生我们要使这个民有，民治，民享的政府不致从地球上消失。（但，于更大意义之上，吾等无法致力、无法奉上、无法成就此土之圣。这群勇者，无论生死，曾于斯奋战到底，早已使其神圣，而远超过吾人卑微之力所能增 减。这世间不曾丝毫留意，也不长久记得吾等于斯所言，但永不忘怀彼人于此所为。吾等生者，理应当然，献身于此辈鞠躬尽瘁之未完大业。吾等在此责无旁贷献身 于眼前之伟大使命：自光荣的亡者之处吾人肩起其终极之奉献吾等在此答应亡者之死当非徒然此国度，于神佑之下，当享有自由之新生民有、民治、民享之政府当免于凋零。）（王玮明整理）专心-专注-专业
