推薦一個《葛底斯堡演說》美國“普通話”版

網上蕩來的：

87 years ago, the Founding Fathers created a brand new country here based on the idea that everyone is equal.

Now, we are at war with ourselves, and this war is testing whether that kind of country can survive. A battle of this war was fought right here where we are standing. We are here today to dedicate a part of this battlefield as a cemetery for the soldiers that died here. This is the right thing to do. There is no way that we can ever bless this ground today more than the soldiers that died here already have. We can’t even come close. No one is going to care or remember the words we say here, but no one can ever forget what those soldiers did here.

It’s up to the rest of us that are still alive to dedicate ourselves to finishing what these soldiers have started. It’s up to us to dedicate ourselves to saving the country, and remind ourselves that people have died for this cause. We have to promise that the soldiers here did not die for nothing. We have to promise that this country, under God, will be free again. We have to promise that a country that is made up of the people, was created by the people, and made to serve the people can exist in this world.

• 不是一回事。這個dedicated 比較tricky, 要看它是做形容詞，還是做動詞（或動詞被動語態）用。 -水中撈月- ♂ (36 bytes) () 10/04/2014 postreply 19:15:46
