参考译文:

我有一个梦：有一天，这个国家将站起来，并实现

他信条的真正含义：我们将捍卫这些不言而喻的真理，

即所有人生来平等。我有一个梦：有一天，在佐治亚

洲红色的山丘上，从前奴隶的子们能和奴隶主的子们

像兄弟一样坐在同一桌旁；我有一个梦：我的四个孩

子有一天将生活在这样一个国度，在那里，人们不是

以肤色，而是以品格来评价他们。当自由的钟声响起

的时候，当我们让它在从每一个村庄，每一个州，每

一个城市响起的时候，我们将能够加速这一天的到来。

那时，上帝所有的孩子，无论是黑人、白人，还是犹

太人、异教徒，天主教徒或是新教徒，他们都能手挽

手歌唱那古老的黑人圣歌：“终于自由了，终于自由了，

感上帝，我们终于自由了！”

——[美]马丁路德金
