🇬🇧 英文原文
And so even though we face the difficulties of today and tomorrow, I still have a dream. It is a dream deeply rooted in the American dream. I have a dream that one day this nation will rise up and live out the true meaning of its creed: “We hold these truths to be self‑evident, that all men are created equal.” I have a dream that one day on the red hills of Georgia, the sons of former slaves and the sons of former slave owners will be able to sit down together at the table of brotherhood. I have a dream that one day even the state of Mississippi, a state sweltering with the heat of injustice, sweltering with the heat of oppression, will be transformed into an oasis of freedom and justice. I have a dream that my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin but by the content of their character. I have a dream today! I have a dream that one day, down in Alabama, with its vicious racists, one day right there in Alabama little black boys and black girls will be able to join hands with little white boys and white girls as sisters and brothers. I have a dream today! With this faith we will be able to hew out of the mountain of despair a stone of hope. With this faith we will be able to work together, to pray together, to struggle together, knowing that we will be free one day.

我梦想有一天，在佐治亚红色山岗之上，昔日奴隶的儿女与昔日奴隶主的儿女，能够亲如手足，同席而坐。
我梦想有一天，即便是密西西比州——那片被不公与压迫热浪炙烤的土地，也将转变为自由与正义的绿洲。
我梦想有一天，我的四个孩子，将生活在这样一个国度：人们评判他们，不是看肤色，而是看内在品格。
今天，我怀有这个梦想！
我梦想有一天，就在阿拉巴马州，尽管那里充斥着恶毒的种族主义者，黑人小男孩小女孩可以与白人的孩子手拉手，亲如兄弟姐妹。
今天，我怀有这个梦想！
