美国梦的含义

美国梦的含义

所谓的美国梦(American Dream),有广义和狭义之分,广义上指美国的平等、自由、民主;狭义上是一种相信只要在美国经过努力不懈的奋斗便能获得更好生活的理想,亦即人们必须通过自己的勤奋工作、勇气、创意、和决心迈向繁荣,而非依赖于特定的社会阶级和他人的援助。

通常这代表了人们在经济上的成功或是企业家的精神。

许多欧洲移民都是抱持着美国梦的理想前往美国的。

美国学者普遍认为,《独立宣言》是美国梦的根基,自由女神像是美国梦的象征。

“人人生而平等,造物主赋予他们若干不可剥夺的权利,其中包括生命权、自由权和追求幸福的权利。

”这句话吸引了世界各地的男男女女来到美国实现自己的梦想。

在《独立宣言》之后制定的宪法等各种法律为美国梦提供了法治保障,法治确保每个人都有机会实现自己的梦想,一个国家如果没有好的制度,个人再好的梦也难以实现。

人类有很多事情大家可以一起做,但大家不能一起做梦。

对公民个体来说,各有各的梦:有的想成为体育明星,有的想成为电影演员,有的想成为科学家,有的想成为医生,有的想当工人,有的想当农民,有的想当商人,有是想成为政治家,有的就梦想有套房子有辆车过恬静、平淡的生活。

这些形形色色的个体的梦孕育着美国梦的普遍性,那就是不管你出身如何,也不管你有何背景,只要你努力就可以实现自己的梦想。

这正如美国作家托马斯·沃尔夫(Thomas Wolfe,1900-1938)对美国梦解释的那样:“任何人,不管他出身如何,也不管他有什么样的社会地位,更不管他有何种得天独厚的机遇……他有权生存,有权工作,有权活出自我,有权依自身先天和后天条件成为自己想成为的人。

美国梦对精神层面的追求远远胜过对物质的追求。

美国历史学家詹姆斯·特拉斯洛·亚当斯(James Truslow Adams,1878-1949)在《美国史诗》(Epic of America)中写道:“美国梦远远超过物质范畴,美国梦就是让个人才能得到充分发展,实现自我。

19世纪美国梦从信仰到质疑的转变
• 18世纪晚期,清教精神在美国梦中仍然扮演着重要角色。它关于自信、 乐观和探索的观点鼓励着美国人不断前进。美国独立战争的成功更是 加强了人们对美国梦的 信仰。由于《独立宣言》和1789年《宪法》的 颁布,出现了一股对美国梦的狂热。西进运动作为上帝给予的权利也 油然而生。伴随着工业化趋势的加强、移民的 涌入以及西进运动,美 国对于民主、宗教和政治平等及机会均等的追求产生了前所未有的信 心和乐观。 亨利•沃兹沃思•朗费罗是19世纪上半期美国最受欢迎的诗人。他的 人生和诗歌恰好体现了这一时代的信念。他的诗歌多是对人生对生活 的颂扬,呈现积极乐 观的生活态度,如他的《人生颂》——“那么, 让我们行动起来/怀着面对任何命运的心/继续追寻、继续实现/学会行 动、学会等待”朗费罗在诗中,严肃地驳斥 了消极的人生观,号召人 们积极行动起来,通过自己的努力来实现人生的价值。心灵的完善, 宗教的信仰都使生活变得光明而美好,即使是死神也不再可怕,因为 他 是“上帝的花匠”。
美国梦精华的延续
• 尽管人们曾经质疑通过战争寻求民主和自由以及 通过辛勤工作获得均等机会的观念,20世纪初的 年轻一代也似乎对美国梦已失去了信心,但美国 梦始终存在于作家 的作品中,美国精神的精华也 一代一代地被传承下来,即在压力下保持尊严并 提倡树立坚毅,刚强的男性形象——这是心灵觉 醒的痛苦过程,是在困难和死亡面前为 尊严而战 的精神,就如同海明威的座右铭“一个人可以被 摧毁但不能被打败”。
何况这梦也不全是美丽 的,比如出现在看台上的克 林顿,他也是美国梦的典型 代表,可他不仅仅有总统的 荣耀,也有莱温斯基的丑闻。
美国梦的形成
1607年,当“五月花”号在北美大陆登陆时,对于17—18世纪的欧洲,这 片土地似乎就变成了和平之地,政治与宗教平等之地以及机会均等之地。 此后,来 自英格兰和欧洲大陆的大量移民不断涌入。无论是为经济利益 而来,还是为追求政治宗教平等而来。他们的到来都促进了美国梦的形成。 事实上,美国梦更多是从清教徒那里继承而来。可以说17—18世纪的 美国是笼罩在清教的气氛下——随处都可以听到神父的演讲和布道,随处 可以看到清教 徒队以及思想和信仰的迫害。清教徒是为追求政治和宗教 自由而来到新英格兰,然而,当他们最初踏上这片土地时,他们经历了生 活上的各种困难,但清教徒用极大 的乐观主义精神和巨大的勇气克服了 所有的苦难,并在向西扩展的过程中,进一步推进了这种不断探索的先锋 精神,将这种享受牺牲和追求自由的精神融入到美国梦 中。爱默生、梭 罗和朗费罗等美国作家正是在这样的传统下长大的。

英语学习资料:美国梦(Americandream)的起源

英语学习资料:美国梦(Americandream)的起源

英语学习资料:美国梦(Americandream)的起源美国梦(American dream)这一词源于亚当斯(James Truslow Adams)1931年的著作《美国史诗》(The Epic of America)。

书中他提到美国梦就是大家梦想在同一片土地上,每个人的生活都更好、更丰裕、更完满。

The term was first used by James Truslow Adams in his book The Epic of America which was written in 1931. He states: "The American Dream is "that dream of a land in which life should be better and richer and fuller for everyone, with opportunity for each according to ability or achievement. It is a difficult dream for the European upper classes to interpret adequately, and too many of us ourselves have grown weary and mistrustful of it. It is not a dream of motor cars and high wages merely, but a dream of social order in which each man and each woman shall be able to attain to the fullest stature of which they are innately capable, and be recognized by others for what they are, regardless of the fortuitous circumstances of birth or position." (p.214-215)In the United States’ Declara tion of Independence, our founding fathers: "…held certain truths to be self-evident, that all Men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness." Might this sentiment be considered the foundation of the American Dream?Were homesteaders who left the big cities of the east to find happiness and their piece of land in the unknown wilderness pursuing these inalienable Rights? Were the immigrants whocame to the United States looking for their bit of life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness, their Dream? And what did the desire of the veteran of World War II - to settle down, to have a home, a car and a family - tell us about this evolving Dream? Is the American Dream attainable by all Americans? Would Martin Luther King feel his Dream was attained? Did Malcolm X realize his Dream?Some say, that the American Dream has bee the pursuit of material prosperity - that people work more hours to get bigger cars, fancier homes, the fruits of prosperity for their families - but have less time to enjoy their prosperity. Others say that the American Dream is beyond the grasp of the working poor who must work two jobs to insure their family’s survival. Yet other s look toward a new American Dream with less focus on financial gain and more emphasis on living a simple, fulfilling life.Thomas Wolfe said, "…to every man, regardless of his birth, his shining, golden opportunity ….the right to live, to work, to be himself, and to bee whatever thing his manhood and his vision can bine to make him."。

褪色和变味的梦想

“美国梦”背后的真正动力是什么?一些历史学家认为, 就是对财富的渴求和追逐。康涅狄格州立大学历史学教授 马修· 沃肖尔指出:“对金钱的追求,是‘美国梦’中不 变的成分。 • 依据历史学家的说法,美国快速的经济发展和工业扩张并 非只是因为美国的自然资源丰富,更是因为所有人都有机 会借由自己的奋斗而获取财富。美国梦成为了吸引世界各 地人民移民美国的主要原因—无论过去或现在。在今天, 每年有超过一百万的人成为美国公民,是世界上最受欢迎 的移民地点。

在美国历史上,本杰明· 富兰 克林、马克· 吐温等无数政治 家、社会活动家、作家使用过 “美国梦”这个字眼。奥巴马 2008年竞选总统时,他的一 本畅销书《无畏的希望:重申 美国梦》感召了众多美国人, 为他赢得了不少选票。奥巴马, 这个跟着母亲长大的非洲裔平 民百姓,通过个人努力攀登上 美国权力的顶峰,这就是美国 梦的一个例证。

Education Most Americans perceive a college education as the ticket to the American Dream. Some recent observers warn that soaring student loan debt crisis and shortages of good jobs may undermine this ticket. The point was illustrated in The Fallen American Dream, a documentary film that details the concept of the American Dream from its historical origins to its current perception.
The editors typically promoted the American Dream. Samuel argues: For many in both the working class and the middle class, upward mobility has served as the heart and soul of the American Dream, the prospect of "betterment" and to “improve one's lot" for oneself and one's children much of what this country is all about. “Work hard, save a little, send the kids to college so they can do better than you did, and retire happily to a warmer climate" has been the script we have all been handed
