Day 1
I am?happy?to join with you today in what will go down in history as the greatest demonstration for freedom in the history of our nation. Five score years ago, a great American, in whose symbolic shadow we stand today, signed the Emancipation Proclamation.?This momentous decree came as a great beacon light of hope to millions of Negro slaves who had been seared in the flames of withering injustice. It came as a joyous daybreak to end the long night of their captivity.

逐句理解賞析:
1) happy, 與delighted,joyful,thrilled同義互換策吠,常用詞用于此處龙助,顯得真實而有親和力,為貼近每一個聽眾上荡;
2)join with, 與……一起,注意與join(加入)的區(qū)別;
3)go down in history, 載入史冊
4)demonstration (for),public protest随珠,march,示威游行;
5)demonstration...our nation, 押尾韻猬错;
6)Five score years ago, 此處用以致敬經(jīng)典, 林肯葛底斯堡戰(zhàn)役演說(Abraham Lincoln窗看,Gettysburg Speech): Four score and seven years ago...
7)...in whose symbolic shadow...演講在該介詞處作停頓,其引導(dǎo)的插入語減緩了說話的節(jié)奏倦炒,顯得富于邏輯显沈,表達也有層次,突出了主要信息;
8)...symbolic shadow...stand...signed..., 押頭韻;
9) the Emancipation Proclamation拉讯,《農(nóng)奴解放宣言》涤浇,念熟,體會其中韻律魔慷;
10)momentous, (more than)important, ?significant; 較正式的大詞只锭,學(xué)習(xí)大詞小詞的交替使用;
11) decree, 法令(同the Emancipation Proclamation這一級別的院尔,通常由國家首腦頒布)蜻展;
12)a great beacon light of hope, 作為好用的固定語塊記背;
13)sear邀摆,灼燒纵顾,文學(xué)性用詞,可譯作處于水深火熱中栋盹;
14) withering, 眼神犀利施逾、話語尖刻的,令人難堪例获、咄咄逼人的汉额;
15)injustice; n.不公正,不講道義躏敢;
16) joyous daybreak; 黎明的曙光闷愤;
17) to end the long night, 結(jié)束漫漫長夜;
