演講摘錄 I say to you today, my friends, that in spite of the difficulties and frustrations of the moment I still have a dream. It is a dream deeply rooted in the American dream. 朋友們,今天我要告訴你們,僅管當前還有許多困難與挫折,我仍然懷有一個夢想。這是深深扎根於美國人夢想中的夢想。
I have a dream that one day this nation will rise up and live out the true meaning of this creed: “ We hold these truths to be self-evident; that all men are created equal. …….. 我夢想有一天這個國家能夠站起來，實現他信條的真諦:[我們把這些看作是不證自明的真理-人人生而平等。]
This is our hope. This is the faith with which I return to the South This is our hope. This is the faith with which I return to the South. With this faith we will be able to hew out of the mountain of despair a stone of hope. 這就是我們的希望。這就是我帶回南方的信念。懷著這個信念，我們能夠從絕望的大山鑿出希望的磐石。
With this faith we will be able to transform the jangling discords of our nation into a beautiful symphony of brotherhood. 懷著這個信念，我們能夠將我國種族不合的喧囂變為一篇友愛的樂章。
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. ……. 懷著這個信念，我們能夠一同工作一同祈禱，一同奮鬥一同入獄 一同為爭取自由而鬥爭 因為知道我們終將得到自由。
When we let freedom ring, when we let it ring from every village and every halmet, 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 ! “
我們使自由之音響徹千村萬戶 響徹每個州郡 每座城池 就會促使那日子盡快到來。到了那一天 上帝的一切兒女 無論黑人 白人 猶太人 非猶太人 基督教徒和天主教徒都將攜手同唱那首古老的黑人聖歌:〔我們終於得到了自由！終於得到了自由！感謝全能的上帝,我們終於得到了自由!]
