I Have a Dream（I say to you today...）——Martin Luther King

I Have a Dream（II） I say to you today, my friends, So even though we face the difficulties of today and tomorrow, I still have a dream. It is a dream deeply rooted in the American dream. I have a dream that one day this nation will rise up and live out the true meaning of its creed: “We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal.” I have a dream that one day on the red hills of Georgia, the sons of former slaves and the sons of former slave owners will be able to sit down together at the table of brotherhood. I have a dream that one day even the state of Mississippi, a state sweltering with the heat of injustice, sweltering with the heat of oppression, will be transformed into an oasis of freedom and justice. I have a dream that my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin but by the content of their character. I have a dream today! 【参考译文】 朋友们，今天我要对大家说， 尽管眼下我们面临着重重困难，我依然有一个梦想，这个梦想深深扎根于美国梦之中。 我梦想有一天，这个国家会站起来，真正实现其信条的真谛：“我们认为这些真理是不言而喻的——人人生而平等。” 我梦想有一天，在佐治亚州的红色山岗上，昔日奴隶的儿子和昔日奴隶主的儿子能够同席而坐，亲如手足。 我梦想有一天，甚至连密西西比州这个正义匿迹、压迫成风、如同沙漠般的地方，也将变成自由和正义的绿洲。 我梦想有一天，我的四个孩子将在一个不是以他们的肤色，而是以他们的品格优劣来评判他们的国度里生活。 我今天有一个梦想。
