請教海先生：如何有效地背誦英語名篇？
上次林肯的[Getty*****urg Address]，最後一句實在太長了，我不明白，為什麽林肯的演講稿一句寫這麽長呢？是為了演講更有說服力嗎？我覺得簡潔的演講稿更容易記住,比如:
"Ask not what your country can do for you - ask what you can do for your country"
--The inaugural address of John Fitzgerald Kennedy.
*****************
林肯的[Getty*****urg Address]，我還沒有把最後一句完全的背下來，請您解析這句話，好嗎？謝謝您。
It is rather for us to be here 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 we here highly resolve that these dead shall not have died in vain
-- that this nation, under God, shall have a new birth of freedom
-- and that government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the earth.
