马丁·路德·金

字幕原文

Martin Luther King, Jr., had a dream: 马丁·路德·金有一个梦想：

an America where people were valued for 一个人们能因其自身价值而受到尊重的美国，

who they truly were inside, 即他们真实的内在，

not for the color of their skin. 而不是因为他们皮肤的颜色。

In 1963, he shared that dream with the world, and it helped change history. 1963年，他向全世界分享了这个梦想，它也因此改变了历史。

In the 1960s, much of America was segregated. 20世纪60年代，美国大部分地区仍实行种族隔离制度。

Black children and white children went to separate schools — 黑人孩子和白人孩子上不同的学校——

and the schools for Black children had less money, 而黑人孩子的学校资金更少，

fewer books, and worse buildings. 书本更少，校舍也更破旧。

Segregation reached into daily life, too: 种族隔离也深入到日常生活的方方面面：

separate water fountains, separate seats at the back of the bus, 独立的饮水机，公共汽车后部的专属座位，

restaurants that would not serve Black customers. 以及不为黑人顾客提供服务的餐馆。

Dr. King and many others fought to change this, peacefully and bravely. 金博士和许多其他人和平、勇敢地为改变这一切而奋斗。

Through their efforts, new laws were passed, and the country moved closer to equality. 通过他们的努力，新的法律得以通过，国家也因此向平等迈进了一步。

The work is not finished, and the struggle for fairness goes on today. 这项工作尚未结束，争取公平的斗争至今仍在继续。

But one man's dream reminds us of something powerful: 但一个人的梦想提醒我们一个强大的真理：

the way the world is has never been the way it has to 世界的现状并非必须

stay. 永远如此。
