[00:01.01]I Have a Dream 马丁・路德・金（Martin Luther King, Jr., 1929-1968）
[00:04.02]I am happy to join with you today.我很高兴今天和你一起参加这次集会，
[00:09.81] in what will go down in history as the greatest demonstration for freedom in the history of our nation.其将作为我们国家历史上为争取自由而举行的最伟大的示威集会而永垂史册。
[00:29.05]Five score years ago, a great American,in whose symbolic shadow we stand today, signed the Emancipation Proclamation. 一百年前，一位伟大的美国人正式签署了黑奴解放宣言，今天我们就是站在他的雕像前集会。
[00:46.70]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. 这项重要法令的颁布犹如一座伟大的灯塔，照亮了当时在不义之火中备受煎熬的数百万黑奴的希望；
[01:02.66]It came as a joyous daybreak to end the long night of their captivity.它像欢快的黎明曙光，结束了束缚黑人的漫漫长夜。
[01:13.15]But one hundred years later,the Negro still is not free. 然而，一百年后的今天，我们必须面对这个悲惨的现实：黑人仍然没有得到自由。
[01:24.07]One hundred years later, 一百年后的今天，
[01:27.66]the life of the Negro is still sadly crippled by the manacles of segregation and the chains of discrimination. 黑人仍然被种族隔离的镣铐和种族歧视的锁链羁绊着，举步维艰。
[01:38.45]One hundred years later, 一百年后的今天，
[01:41.61]the Negro lives on a lonely island of poverty in the midst of a vast ocean of material prosperity. 在物质充裕的汪洋大海之中，黑人却仍然独自生存于贫穷的孤岛之上。
[01:51.21]One hundred years later, 一百年后的今天，
[01:57.52]the Negro is still languishing in the corners of American society and finds himself an exile in his own land. 黑人仍然瑟缩在美国社会的阴暗角落里向隅而泣，在自己的土地上却仍然感到流离失所。
[02:08.55]So we have come here today to dramatize a shameful condition.因此，我们今天来到这里，把这种骇人听闻的情况公之于众。
[02:16.20]In a sense, we have come to our nation's Capital to cash a check. 就某种意义而言，我们今天来到国家的首都是为了兑现一张支票。
[02:22.85]When the architects of our republic wrote the magnificent words of the Constitution and the Declaration of Independence, 当我们共和国的缔造者在撰写美国宪法以及独立宣言的壮丽篇章时，
[02:33.73]they were signing a promissory note to which every American was to fall heir.就签署了一张本票，并规定每个美国人都有权继承。 
[02:42.54]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.这张本票承诺，所有的人，是的，不论白人还是黑人都拥有不可剥夺的生存、自由和追求幸福的权利。
[02:59.70]It is obvious today that America has defaulted on this promissory note insofar as her citizens of color are concerned. 就有色公民而言，今天美国显然没有承兑这张本票。
[03:12.37]Instead of honoring this sacred obligation, America has given the Negro people a bad check; 美国拒不履行这项神圣的义务，只是退给黑人同胞一张空头支票，
[03:22.08]a check which has come back marked "insuffcient funds". 上面盖着“现金不足”的印戳。
[03:38.45]But we refuse to believe that the bank of justice is bankrupt. 但是，我们绝不相信正义的银行已经破产。
[03:46.42]We refuse to believe that there are "insufficient funds" in the great vaults of opportunity of this nation. 我们绝不相信，这个国家装满机遇的巨大宝库居然会出现“现金不足”的窘况。
[03:53.46]So we have come to cash this check,因此，我们要求兑现这张支票，
[03:55.98] a check that will give us upon demand the riches of freedom and the security of justice.这张支票一经兑现将给予我们宝贵的自由和正义的保障。
[04:02.66]
[04:12.43]We have also come to this hallowed spot to remind America of the fierce urgency of "now" . 此外，我们来到这个神圣之地，也是为了提醒美国，事情的解决已经迫在眉睫，
[04:23.52]This is no time to engage in the luxury of cooling off or to take the tranquilizing drug of gradualism. 再没时间让我们奢谈冷静，或拿渐进主义当镇静剂了。
[04:38.97]"Now" is the time to make real the promises of Democracy.现在是实现民主诺言的时候了； 
[04:45.51]"Now" is the time to rise from the dark and desolate valley of segregation to the sunlit path of racial justice. 现在是走出种族隔离的荒芜阴暗的深谷，踏上种族平等的光明大道的时候了；
[04:55.38]"Now" is the time to lift our nation from the quicksands of racial injustice to the solid rock of brotherhood. 现在是向上帝所有的儿女打开机会之门的时候了；
[05:07.30]"Now" is the time to make justice a reality fo all of God's children. 现在是把我们的国家从种族不平等的流沙中拯救出来，安放在手足之情铸就的磐石之上的时候了。
[05:16.48]It would be fatal for the nation to overlook the urgency of the moment. 忽视时间的紧迫性，
[05:24.30]This sweltering summer of the Negro's legitimate discontent will not pass until there is an invigorating autumn of freedom and equality.这对美国来讲，后果不堪设想的。自由平等的爽朗秋天不到来，黑人义愤填膺的酷暑就不会过去。 
[05:36.84]Nineteen sixty three is not an end, but a beginning. 1963年并不意味着斗争的结束，而仅仅是一个开始。
[05:41.75]Those who hope that the Negro needed to blow off steam and will now be content will have a rude awakening if the nation returns to business as usual. 如果这个国家依然无动于衷，我行我素，那么，那些希望黑人只要发泄一下怒火就会心平气和的人就会猛醒。
[06:08.88]There will be neither rest nor tranquility in America until the Negro is granted his citizenship rights. The whirlwinds of revolt will continue to shake the foundations of our nation until the bright day of justice emerges.黑人一天得不到他的公民权利，美国就不可能安宁和平静。抗争的飓风将继续动摇这个国家的基石，直至光明璀璨的正义之日浮现眼前。
[06:28.35]But there is something that I must say to my people who stand on the warm threshold which leads into the palace of justice. 但是，对于站在通向正义殿堂温暖的门槛上的同胞们，有些话我是必须要说的。
[06:39.25]In the process of gaining our rightful place we must not be guilty of wrongful deeds. 在争取合法地位的过程中，我们切不可因错误之举而犯罪；
[06:48.39]Let us not seek to satisfy our thirst for freedom by drinking from the cup of bitterness and hatred. 我们切不要为了满足对自由的渴望而捧着敌对和仇恨之杯痛饮。
[07:04.91]We must forever conduct our struggle on the high plane of dignity and discipline. 我们在斗争中必须自尊自重，纪律严明。
[07:11.18]We must not allow our creative protests to degenerate into physical violence.我们不能容忍我们富于创造的抗争沦为粗野的暴动。 
[07:18.22]Again and again we must rise to the majestic heights of meeting physical force with soul force.我们应该一次次地将自己升华到用灵魂的力量对抗对手的有形暴力的崇高境界。
[07:27.92]The marvelous new militancy which has engulfed the Negro community must not lead us to a distrust of all white people, 席卷整个黑人社会的了不起的新战斗精神，不应该把我们引入不信任所有白人的歧途，
[07:38.11]for many of our white brothers, as evidenced by their presence here today,因为许多白人兄弟已经认识到： 
[07:42.85]have come to realize that their destiny is tied up with our destiny, they have come to realize their freedom is inextricably bound to our freedom. We cannot walk alone.我们彼此的命运紧紧相连，我们彼此的自由密不可分。今天，他们来参加我们这个集会就是对此最好的证明。我们不能独自前行。
[08:06.41]As we walk, we must make the pledge that we shall always march ahead. 而当我们行动时，我们就必须确保勇往直前，我们无路可退。
[08:14.92]We cannot turn back. There are those who are asking the devotees of civil rights, 有人问热衷于民权运动的人：
[08:22.70]"When will you be satisfied?"“你们什么时候才能满足？”

[09:11.85]No, no, we are not satisfied,  是的，我们并不满足，
[09:16.01]and we will not be satisfied until justice rolls down like waters and righteousness like a mighty stream.也将不会满足，除非正义和公正犹如江河之波涛，汹涌澎湃，滚滚而来。
[09:33.05]I am not unmindful that some of you have come here out of great trials and tribulations. 我并非没有注意到，你们当中有些人是经过重重磨难才能来到这里，
[09:45.78]Some of you have come fresh from narrow jail cells. 有的人刚刚走出狭小的牢房，
[09:50.83]Some of you have come from areas where your quest for freedom left you battered by the storms of persecution and staggered by the winds of police brutality. 有的人来自那些地方，你们追求自由，但却惨遭迫害暴雨捶打和警察暴力飓风肆虐。
[10:04.98]You have been the veterans of creative suffering. 你们是久经人为磨难的老兵。
[10:09.66]Continue to work with the faith that unearned suffering is redemptive.那么，继续奋斗下去吧，要坚信：总有一天，无辜受难的人们终会得到拯救。
[10:17.90]Go back to Mississippi, go back to Alabama, go back to South Carolina, 让我们回到密西西比去吧，回到阿拉巴马去吧，回到南卡罗来纳去吧，
[10:23.59]go back to Georgia, go back to Louisiana, go back to the slums and ghettos of our Northern cities, 回到佐治亚去吧，回到路易斯安那去吧，回到我们北方城市中的贫民区和黑人居住区去吧。
[10:31.80]knowing that somehow this situation can and will be changed. Let us not wallow in the valley of despair.要知道，这种处境是可以而且必将会改变的。我们切莫再陷入绝望而不能自拔的深谷之中。
[10:41.16]I say to you today, my friends,朋友们，今天我要告诉你们， 
[10:54.39]and so even though we face the difficulties of today and tomorrow, 尽管此时此刻和未来我们会面临种种困难和挫折，
[11:01.42]I still have a dream. 但是我仍然有一个梦想。
