亞伯拉罕·林肯,(1809-1865)

November 19, 1863

1863年11月19日

Gettysburg, Pennsylvania

賓夕法尼亞州,葛底斯堡

Fourscore and seven years ago,our fathers brought forth upon this continent a new nation,conceived and dedicated to the proposition that all men are created equal.

八十七年前,我們先輩在這個大陸上創立了一個新國家,它孕育於自由之中,奉行一切人生來平等的原則。

Now we are engaged in a great civil war,testing whether that nation or any nation so conceived and dedicated can long are met on the battelfield of that have come to dedicate a portion of that field as a final-resting place for those who gave their lives that the nation might is altogether and proper that we should do this.

我們正從事一場偉大的內戰,以考驗這個國家,或者任何一個孕育於自由和奉行上述原則的國家是否能夠長久存在下去。我們在這場戰爭中的一個偉大戰場上集會。烈士們爲使這個國家能夠生存下去而獻出了自己的生命,我們來到這裏,是要把這個戰場的一部分奉獻給他們作爲最後安息之所。我們這樣做是完全應該而且非常恰當的。

But, in a larger sense,we can not dedicate,we can not consecrate,we can not hallow this brave men,living and dead,have consecrated it far above our power to add or world will little note what we say here,but it can never forget what they did is for us,the living,rather to be dedicated to the great task remaining before us,that from these honored dead we take increased devotion to that cause for which they gave the last full measure of devotion,that the nation shall have a new birth of freedom,that the government of the people by the people and for the people shall not perish from the earth.

但是,從更廣泛的意義上說,這塊土地我們不能夠奉獻,不能夠聖化,不能夠神化。那些曾在這裏戰鬥過的勇士們,活着的和去世的,已經把這塊土地聖化了,這遠不是我們微薄的力量所能增減的。我們今天在這裏所說的話,全世界不大會注意,也不會長久地記住,但勇士們在這裏所做過的事,全世界卻永遠不會忘記。毋寧說,倒是我們這些還活着的人,應該在這裏把自己奉獻於勇士們已經如此崇高地向前推進但尚未完成的事業。倒是我們應該在這裏把自己奉獻於仍然留在我們面前的偉大任務——我們要從這些光榮的死者身上吸取更多的獻身精神,來完成他們已經完全徹底爲之獻身的事業;我們要在這裏下定最大的決心,不讓這些死者白白犧牲;我們要使國家在上帝福佑下自由的新生,要使這個民有、民治、民享的政府永世長存。
