Our founders understood that well and gave us a democracy strong enough to endure for centuries,flexible enough to face our common challenges and advance our common dreams in each new day.
我們的締造者深深了解這一點，他們給予我們一個強大的民主制度。它足以持續存在好幾百年，并且具有足夠的靈活性，使我們在每一個新的日子里都能面對共同的挑戰，推進我們共同的夢想。
Fellow citizens, let us build that American, a nation ever moving forward toward realizing the full potential of all its citizens.Prosperity and power, yes, they are important, and we must maintain them.But let us never forget: The greatest progress we have made, and the greatest progress we have yet to make, is in the human heart. In the end, all the world's wealth and a thousand armies are no match for the strength and decency of human spirit.
同胞們，讓我們建設這樣的美國，一個永遠前進，充分發揮全民潛力的國家。是的，繁榮和強大很重要，我們必須維持繁榮和強大。但是，我們絕不能忘記：我們已取得的偉大成就，我們將取得的偉大成就，就在人民心中。到最后，整個世界的財富和千支軍隊與人類精神力量和精神文明相匹敵。
Thirty-four years ago, the man whose life we celebrate today spoke to us down there, at the other end of this Mall, in words that moved the conscience of a nation. Like a prophet pf old, he told of his dream that one day America would rise up and treat all its citizens as equals before the law and in the heart.
三十四年前，有一個人，他的一生為我們今天所歌頌，他就在那邊，在廣場的另一端對我們演講，他的話打動了國民的良知。像是一個古時的預言家，他訴說著他的夢想：有一天美國終會站起來。在法律面前和人們心中，所有的公民都得到平等對待。
