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.
今天，我高興地同大家一起，參加這次示威集會，這將成為歷史上最偉大的為了爭取自由而舉行的示威集會。
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 their captivity.
100年前，一位偉大的美國人簽署了《解放黑人奴隸宣言》——今天我們就是在他的雕像前集會。這項重要法令的頒布，對于那千百萬在非正義殘焰中掙扎的黑人奴隸來說，猶如帶來希望之光的碩大燈塔，恰似結束漫漫長夜禁錮的歡暢黎明。
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.
然而，100年后，黑人依然沒有獲得自由。100年后，黑人依然悲慘地蹣跚于種族隔離和種族歧視的枷鎖之下。
