Four score and seven years ago, our fathers brought forth upon 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.But, in a larger sense, we cannot dedicate, we cannot consecrate, we cannot hallowthis ground. The brave men, living and dead, who struggled here, have consecrated it far above our poor power to add or detract. The 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 task remaining before us—that from these honored dead we take increased devotionto 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 of the people, by the people, and for the people, shall not perishfrom the earth.
87年前，我们的先辈们在这块大陆上创建了一个新国家。这个国家孕育于自由之中，奉行人人生而平等的原则。现在我们正投身于一场伟大的内战，以考验这个国家，或者任何一个孕育于自由并奉行上述原则的国家能否长久存在。我们相聚在这场战争的一个伟大战场上。我们来到这里，是为了把这片战场的一部分献给那些在此为国家生存而捐躯的人们，将其作为他们最终的安息之所。我们这样做是完全恰当的，也是应该的。但是，从更广泛的意义上来说，这块土地我们不能奉献，不能圣化，也不能神化。那些曾在此战斗过的勇士们，不论是活着的还是牺牲的，都已经圣化了这片土地。他们所做的远非我们的微薄之力所能扬抑。世界不会注意也不会铭记我们今天在此所说的话，但却绝不会忘记勇士们在此地的壮举。而我们这些活着的人，应该在此献身于这未尽之事业，这崇高的未尽之事业正是那些在此奋斗过的勇士们迄今所推进的。我们应该在此献身于留给我们的伟大任务——我们要从这些光荣的先烈身上汲取更多的献身精神，投身于他们鞠躬尽瘁的事业；我们在此下定决心，不让先烈们白白牺牲；在上帝的保佑下，让这个国家获得自由的新生；让这个民有、民治、民享的政府与世长存。
