The years ahead will see a continuation of the same dramatic developments. Physical science will carve new highways through stratosphere. In a few years astronauts and cosmonauts will probably walk comfortably across the uncertain pathways of the moon. In two or three years it will be possible, because of the new supersonic jets, to fly from New York to London in two and one-half hours. In the years ahead medical science will greatly prolong the lives of men by finding a cure for cancer and deadly heart ailments. Automation and cybernation will make it possible for working people to have undreamed-of amounts of leisure time. All this is a dazzling picture of the furniture, the workshop, the spacious rooms, the new decorations and the architectural pattern of the large world house in which we are living.
同樣巨大的發展在今后的歲月中將繼續呈現在世人面前。自然科學將會開辟穿越平流層的新航道。再過幾年，宇航員很可能將在今天還無法確定的月球道路上漫步。再過兩三年，由于 新的超音速噴氣式飛機的發明，從紐約飛到倫敦有可能只用兩個半小時。未來，醫學家們將會發現治療癌癥和致命的心臟病的方法，從而大大延長人的壽命。自動化和電腦控制將可能讓工作者享受到做夢都想不到的大量的空閑時間。所有這一切都是一幅光彩奪目的圖畫一一我們將一起生活的大地球村里的家具、工作室、寬敞的房間、新的擺設和建筑模式的圖畫。
Along with the scientific and technological revolution, we have also witnessed a worldwide freedom revolution over the last few decades. The present upsurge of the Negro people of the United States grows out of a deep and passionate determination to make freedom and equality a reality "here" and "now." In one sense the Civil Rights Movement in the United States is a special American phenomenon which must be understood in the light of American history and dealt with in terms of the American situation. But on another and more important level, what is happening in the United States today is a significant part of a world development.
在過去的幾十年里，伴隨著科學和技術革命的進行，我們也目睹了一場世界范圍內的自由革命。當今美國黑人運動勢頭高漲，這源于要使自由和平等成為“此時” “此地”的現實的深 刻的信念和強烈的決心。從某種意義上講，美國的民權運動是一個美國式的特殊現象, 要理解它必須從美國歷史的角度出發，并考慮美國的國情。但是從另一個更加重要的層面上講，今天在美國發生的事情乃是世界形勢發展的一個重要部分。
