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价他们的国度里生活。我今天有一个梦想。
I have a dream that one day down in Alabama, with its vicious racists , with its governor having his lips dripping with the words of interposition and nullification, one day right down in Alabama our little black boys and black girls will be able to join hands with little white boys and white girls as sisters and brothers.

I have a dream that one day every valley shall be exalted, every hill and mountain shall be made low; the rough places will be made plain; and the crooked places will be made straight; and the glory of the lord shall be revealed and all flesh shall see it together. This is our hope. This is the faith that I go back to the South with. With this faith we will be able to hew out of the mountain of despair a stone of hope . With this faith we will be able to transform the jangling discords of our nation into a beautiful symphony of brotherhood. With this faith we will be able to work together, to pray together, to struggle together, to go to jail together, to stand up for freedom together, knowing that we will be free one day.
我梦想有一天,所有谷地会升高,所有山陵将夷平,崎岖不平之地变为平原,所有险阻化为康庄大道,上帝的光辉显现,让所有人类一齐瞻仰。这就是我们的希望。这就是我带回南方的信念。怀着这个信念,我们能够把绝望的大山凿成希望的磐石。怀着这个信念,我们能够将我国种族不和的喧嚣变为一曲友爱的乐章。怀着这个信念,我们能够一同工作,一同祝祈祷,一同奋斗,一同入狱,一同为争取自由而斗争,因为我们知道我们终将得到自由。
This will be the day, when all of God\'s children will be able to sing with new meaning, “My country is of thee, sweet land of liberty, of thee I sing, Land where my fathers died, land of the Pilgrims\' pride, from every mountain side, let freedom ring.” And if America is to be a great nation, this must become true.
在自由到来的那一天,上帝的所有儿女们将以新的含义高唱这支歌:“我的祖国,美丽的自由之乡,我为您歌唱。您是父辈逝去的地方,您是最初移民的骄傲,让自由之声从每一座山峦响起来。”如果美国是伟大的民族,这一天一定会到来。
【思维体操】
表示动作的动词本来可以在句中直接充当谓语动词,但英美却偏爱用 “ 及物动词 + 与动作动词意义相当的名词 ” 来取代这种单个的谓语动词。如说 “ 演讲 ” ,不用 speak , 而用 make a speech;说 “ 吸烟 ” ,不用 smoke,而用 have a smoke;说 “ 散步 ” 不用 walk , 而用 take a walk 。钱歌川先生说,这样做, “ 洋味浓厚 ” 。也有人说这是为了更有效地强调句中的谓语部分,是为了更好地体现 “ end - focus ( 末端中心 ) ” 的语义规则,并避免主语部分过长、谓语部分过短的句子结构失衡现象。这类表达方式在中学课本中常常可以见到。如:
store → make store ,smoke → have a smoke,breather → take a breath,draw → do drawing,explain → give an explanation to,promise → make a promise,use → make use of record → keep a record of,visit → pay a visit to,sit → take a seat,decide → make a decision bathe → take a bath,copy → make a copy of,affect → have an effect on,talk → give a talk
请口译下列句子,并注意划线的短语动词:
1 . It\'s likely that the manager will make a decision soon .
2 . He has made a copy of the agreement between him and the manager .
3 . Prof . Yuan Longping is giving a talk about the science of farming which he has developed .
4 . I think it will be necessary for me to pay you a visit and see where you live .
5 . On August 28 , 1963 King made a speech to thousands of black people . That speech immediately became world - famous .
6 . Take a deep breath and I\'ll time you .
7 . The squirrel is an animal which makes secret food stores for the winter .
8 . The athlete not only wants to keep his record of high jump , but also desires to break it .
9 . They make a promise that they will never quarrel with each other again .
10 . Radioactive matter is dangerous to work with because it has a bad effect on the blood .
