Abraham Lincoln: 'Gettysburg Address'
Fourscore and seven years ago, our fathers brought forth on this continent, a new nation, conceived in liberty, and dedicated to the proposition that all men are created equal.
Now we are engaged in a great civil war, testing whether that nation, or any nation so conceived and so dedicated, can long endure.
We are met on a great battlefield of that war.
We have come to dedicate a portion of that field, as a final resting place for those who here gave their lives that that nation might live.
It is altogether fitting and proper that we should do this.
But,in a larger sense, we cannot dedicate-we cannot consecrate-we cannot hallow-this ground.
The brave men, living and dead, who struggled here, have consecrated it, far above our poor power to add or detract.
The world will little note, nor long remember, what we say here, but it can never forget what they did here.
It is for us the living, rather, to be dedicated hereto the unfinished work which they who fought here have thus far so nobly advanced.
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.

亚伯拉罕·林肯:《葛底斯堡演说》
八十七年前，我们的先辈在这个大陆上创立了一个新国家，它孕育于自由之中，奉行一切人生来平等的原则。现在我们正在进行一场伟大的内战，以考验这个国家，或者任何一个孕育于上述原则和奉行上述原则的国家是否能够长久存在下去。我们在这场战争的一个伟大战场上集会。我们来到这里，是为了把这个战场的一部分奉献给那些为这个国家的生存而献出生命的人，作为他们最后安息的地方。我们这样做是完全合适和适当的。但是，从更广泛的意义上说，这片土地我们无法奉献——我们无法圣化——我们无法神化。那些曾经在这里战斗过的勇士们，活着的和死去的，已经使这块土地神圣化了，远远不是我们微薄的力量所能增减的。我们今天在这里所说的话，世界不会注意到，也不会长久记住，但勇士们在这里所做的事，世界却永远不会忘记。毋宁说，应该由我们这些活着的人来献身于那些曾在这里战斗过的勇士们所崇高推进的尚未完成的事业。我们应该在这里献身于仍然留在我们面前的伟大任务——我们要从这些光荣的死者身上汲取更多的献身精神，来完成他们已完全为之献身的事业;我们要在这里下定决心，不让这些死者白白牺牲;要使这个国家在上帝的庇佑下获得自由的新生，要使这个民有、民治、民享的政府永世长存。

Story 9: Women's Wiles
There once was a young and handsome, son of a merchant in Baghdad.
He had a shop in the city where he bought, and sold goods.
One day, a charming young woman passed by his shop.
She looked up an saw the inscription written above the shop door and it made her upset 'Men's wits exceed women's wiles.'
She was determined to do something about it.
The next day, she went back to the store dressed in her most expensive clothes.
She went into the store pretending to shop and while talking with the merchant she said, "Look at the shape of my body, how could anyone say that I have a hunchback." She leaned forward so that he could see part of her breasts.
Then she said, "And how can they say my arms are pockmarked, and that I'm one-eyed."
She showed him her smooth white forearms, and let him see her face.
The merchant said that of course, she was none of these things and asked why she had these ideas.
The young lady told the merchant that her father said all of these horrible things.
She said her father was the Chief Kazi of the city and turned away all her suitors, he telling them that she was deformed and she would never marry.
She said, "My father is stingy and doesn't want to spend money. He says, I am like the slave girls and shouldn't wear elegant clothing and that I will be single forever."
The merchant was so charmed by her beauty and suffering that he begged for her to stop crying and vowed to marry her himself.
The woman warned him that her father would try to discourage the match.
The merchant assured her that he wouldn't believe the Kazi's lies.
He went to the Kazi's palace to ask to marry the Kazi's daughter.
The Kazi said that they were not a good match.
Insisting that he didn't care, the contracts were signed and a grand wedding was made.
The daughter was heavily veiled and was brought to the merchant's house.
He discovered to his horror that she was indeed hunchbacked,covered in pockmarks, and had only one eye, just as the Kazi said.
He realized the beautiful young woman who came to his store had tricked him.
The next morning, she dressed herself with even more expensive clothes that showed her perfect shape.
The furious merchant to know why she played such a tricks on him, saying,"What did I do to harm you? I don't understand."
The girl pointed to his sign and said that the sign over his door made her angry and displeased.
She said to him, "If you change your sign to say the opposite I will get you out of your predicament."
He agreed to change the sign.
She told him to hire all the gypsies, dancers and beggars in the city to come and sing the next morning, exactly at the time when he will be having coffee with his new father-in-law.
The next day, the crowd came to the merchant and the Kazi.
The Kazi was shocked and demanded to know what was going on.
The merchant said what the young woman had told him to say, "These are my relatives,I am the son of their uncle. They have come to wish me congratulations on my new marriage."
The Kazi was sad that he had married his daughter into such a low-class family and divorced from the wanted his daughter merchant.
After the divorce was processed, the merchant ordered a new sign for his shop.
The sign said, "Women's wiles exceed men's wits."
In the end, he persuaded a young lady, who was a blacksmith's daughter, to marry him and they lived happily through the rest of their days.

Edward Kennedy 'Remembering Martin Luther King'
You and I have stood together many times, but no time has been more important than this.
The campaign that stretches before us now is a struggle for the souls and the future of America.
For we are more than a political coalition, more than a collection of programmes, more than the sum of our prospects and our strategy.
Most of all, we are the trustees of a dream.
Twenty years ago, in 1968, we lost two of the most powerful voices of that dream.
But they left us their vision, their values, and the hopes they awakened.
In the countless millions of people whose hearts they touched, we remember them now to remind ourselves that the American journey is unfinished, that we stand for change in order to march again towards enduring ideals, that we do not have to settle for things as they are.
Martin Luther King Jr told us something we need to hear anew.
He said, 'We are now faced with the fact that tomorrow is today.
We are confronted with the fierce urgency of now, in the unfolding life and history.
There is such a thing as being too late.
And Dr King also said, 'We must work unceasingly to lift this Nation to a higher destiny, to a new plateau of compassion.'
And in that time there was another voice, only briefly heard, but whose words too have outlasted all the loss in years.
Robert Kennedy said, 'Each time a man stands up for an ideal, or acts to improve the lot of others, or strikes out against injustice, he sends forth a tiny ripple of hope.
And crossing each other from a million different centers of energy and daring, those ripples build a current that can sweep down the mightiest walls of oppression and resistance.'
He was my brother.
But he and Dr King were also in the deepest sense brothers to us all.
These two, these valiant two, lived for the same dream and were gone only months apart.
And if they were here with us, two decades later, I think I know what they would say: 'Now is the time. Some men see things as they are and say, why? We dream things that never were and say, why not? Now is the time.'

爱德华·肯尼迪：《纪念马丁·路德·金》你和我曾多次并肩作战，但没有什么比这一次更重要。现在摆在我们面前的竞选是一场关乎灵魂和美国未来的斗争。因为我们不仅仅是一个政治联盟，不仅仅是一系列计划的集合，不仅仅是我们的前景和战略的总和。最重要的是，我们是梦想的受托人。20年前，1968年，我们失去了这一梦想中两个最有力的声音。但他们给我们留下了他们的愿景、他们的价值观和他们唤醒的希望。我们缅怀他们，是为了提醒我们自己，美国的征途尚未完成，我们主张变革，是为了再次向持久的理想迈进，我们不必安于现状。马丁·路德·金告诉我们一些我们需要重新听一遍的事情。他说:“我们现在面对的事实是，明天就是今天。在生活和历史的发展中，我们面临着现在的强烈紧迫性。有一件事是太迟了。金博士还说:“我们必须不断努力，把这个国家提升到一个更高的命运，提升到一个充满同情的新平台。”在那段时间里，还有另一个声音，虽然只被短暂地听到，但他的话也比失去亲人的岁月更持久。罗伯特·肯尼迪说过:“每当一个人为理想挺身而出，或为改善他人的命运而行动，或反对不公正时，他都会发出一丝希望的涟漪。”这些涟漪从一百万个不同的能量和勇气中心相互交叉，形成一股水流，可以冲垮最强大的压迫和反抗之墙。”他是我的兄弟。但在最深刻的意义上，他和金博士也是我们所有人的兄弟。这两个，这两个勇敢的人，为了同一个梦想而活，只相隔几个月就走了。如果二十年后他们还在这里
