16、最残酷的战斗持续了三天,就发生在1863年的葛底斯堡。北方联盟取得了胜利,但代价惨重。五万多名士兵死伤,人们失去了希望和目标。遭受这些苦难究竟是为了什么呢?林肯理解民众的感受。他的演说给了民众希望、信念以及展望未来的理由。他给予了美国人民一个新的愿景,那就是依照87年前开国元勋的理念,美利坚合众国本应成为的样子。那也是已故的将士为之献出生命的原因。现在,责任落到了生者身上,不仅要消除南北之间的分歧,还要打破黑人与白人之间的界限,一步一步朝着实现人类平等而努力。87年前,我们的先辈在这块大陆上创立了一个新的国家,它孕育于自由之中,献身于人人生而平等的理想。当下我们正深陷于一场大规模的内战之中,它
17、考验着这个国家,或者任何一个生于自由、对上述理想深信不疑的国家,能否长久生存下去。现在我们聚集在这场内战的一个重要战场上,我们来到这里,是为了把这里的一部分土地献给那些为了国家存续而献出自己生命的人,作为他们最终的安息之地。我们这样做是完全应当且非常恰当的。但是,从更广泛意义上来说,我们不能献出不能圣化不能神化这块土地,因为在这里勇敢抗争的人们,不论生死,已经圣化了这片土地,这远不是我们渺小的力量所能增减的。世界不会留意,也不会铭记我们在这里说了什么,但它永远不会忘记他们在这里做的事情。他们英勇地坚持至今,现在是我们这些生者献身于这未完成的事业的时候了。我们应该把自己奉献于在我们面前的伟大事业
18、从这些光荣的逝者身上汲取更多的信仰,来投身于他们为之竭尽最后一丝力量的事业我们在这里下最大的决心,不让逝者白白失去生命,要让国家获得自由的新生,要使民有、民治、民享的政府永存。(葛底斯堡演讲亚伯拉罕林肯)Step One: PrereadingHow much do you know about the American Civil War?
