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.
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.
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. one hundred years later, the negro lives on a lonely island of poverty in the midst of a vast ocean of material prosperity. one hundred years later, the negro is still languished in the corners of american society and finds himself an exile in his own land. and so we've come here today to dramatize a shameful condition.
in a sense we've come to our nation's capital to cash a check. when the architects of our republic wrote the magnificent words of the constitution and the declaration of independence, they were signing a promissory note to which every american was to fall heir. this note was a promise that all men, yes, black men as well as white men, would be guaranteed the "unalienable rights" of "life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness." it is obvious today that america has defaulted on this promissory note, insofar as her citizens of color are concerned. instead of honoring this sacred obligation, america has given the negro people a bad check, a check which has come back marked "insufficient funds."
but we refuse to believe that the bank of justice is bankrupt. we refuse to believe that there are insufficient funds in the great vaults of opportunity of this nation. and so, we've come to cash this check, a check that will give us upon demand the riches of freedom and the security of justice.
we have also come to this hallowed spot to remind america of the fierce urgency of now. this is no time to engage in the luxury of cooling off or to take the tranquilizing drug of gradualism. now is the time to make real the promises of democracy. now is the time to rise from the dark and desolate valley of segregation to the sunlit path of racial justice. now is the time to lift our nation from the quicksands of racial injustice to the solid rock of brotherhood. now is the time to make justice a reality for all of god's children.
it would be fatal for the nation to overlook the urgency of the moment. this sweltering
summer of the negro's legitimate discontent will not pass until there is an invigorating ……此处隐藏9308个字……to go to jail together, to stand up for freedom together, knowing that we will be free one day.
and this will be the day -- this will be the day when all of god's children will be able to sing with new meaning:
my country 'tis of thee, sweet land of liberty, of thee i sing.
land where my fathers died, land of the pilgrim's pride,
from every mountainside, let freedom ring!
and if america is to be a great nation, this must become true.
and so let freedom ring from the prodigious hilltops of new hampshire.
let freedom ring from the mighty mountains of new york.
let freedom ring from the heightening alleghenies of
pennsylvania.
let freedom ring from the snow-capped rockies of colorado.
let freedom ring from the curvaceous slopes of california.
but not only that:
let freedom ring from stone mountain of georgia.
let freedom ring from lookout mountain of tennessee.
let freedom ring from every hill and molehill of mississippi.
from every mountainside, let freedom ring.
and when this happens, when we allow freedom ring, when we let it ring from every village and every hamlet, from every state and every city, we will be able to speed up that day when all of god's children, black men and white men, jews and gentiles, protestants and catholics, will be able to join hands and sing in the words of the old negro spiritual:
free at last! free at last!
thank god almighty, we are free at last!

我有一个梦想,有一天在佐治亚洲的红色山岗上,昔日奴隶的儿子能够同昔日奴隶主的儿子同席而坐、亲如手足。
我有一个梦想,有一天,即便是密西西比州,一个被非正义和压迫的热浪所席卷的荒漠之州,也会改造成为自由和公正的青春绿洲。
我有一个梦想,我的四个儿女将生活在一个不是以皮肤的颜色,而是以品格的优劣作为评判标准的国家。
今天,我怀有一个梦想,
我梦想有一天亚拉巴马州邪恶的奴隶制度会有所改变。尽管该州州长现在仍滔滔不绝地说,要对联邦法令提出异议和拒绝执行。
有一天,在那里,黑人儿童能够和白人儿童携手并行,如同兄弟姐妹般。
今天,我怀有一个梦想,
我梦想有一天深谷弥合、高山夷平、歧路化坦途、曲径成通衢,上帝光华再现,普天下生灵共谒。
这是我们的希望,这是我将带回南方的信念。有了这个信念,我们就能从绝望之山采出希望之石;有了这个信念,我们就能把这个国家嘈杂刺耳的争吵声变为充满手足之情的悦耳交响曲;有了这个信念,我们就能一同工作、一同祈祷、一同斗争、一同入狱、一同维护自由。 因为我们知道,终有一天我们会获得自由,到了这一天,到了这一天,上帝的所有孩子,都能以新的含义高唱这首歌:
我的祖国,可爱的自由之邦,我为您歌唱,这里是我的祖先终老的地方;这里是早期移民自豪的地方。让自由之声响彻每一座山岗。
如果美国要成为伟大的国家,这一点必须实现。因此,让自由之声响彻新罕布什尔州的巍峨高峰,
让自由之声响彻纽约州的崇山峻岭!
让自由之声响彻宾夕法尼亚州的阿利根尼山!
让自由之声响彻科罗拉多州白雪皑皑的落基山!
让自由之声响彻加利福尼亚州的婀娜群峰!
不仅如此,让自由之声响彻佐治亚州的石山!
让自由之声响彻田纳西州的望山!
让自由之声响彻密西西比州的一座座山峰一个个土丘!
让自由之声响彻每一个山岗!
当这一天到来、当我们让自由之声轰响,当我们让自由之声响彻每一个大村小庄、每一个州府城镇,我们就能加速这一天的到来。那时,上帝的所有孩子、黑人和白人、犹太教徒和非犹太教徒、耶稣教徒和天主教徒,将能携手同唱那首古老的黑人灵歌:
“终于自由了!终于自由了!感谢全能的上帝,我们终于自由了!”
