亚伯拉罕·林肯《葛底斯堡演讲》(英文)

林肯的名篇演讲《葛底斯堡演说》

葛底斯堡演说《葛底斯堡演说》（英文：Gettysburg Address）是亚伯拉罕·林肯最著名的演说，也是美国历史上为人引用最多之政治性演说。

在1863年11月19日，正值美国内战中葛底斯堡战役结束后四个半月，林肯在宾夕法尼亚州葛底斯堡的葛底斯堡国家公墓（Gettysburg National Cemetery）揭幕式中发表是之演说，哀悼在长达5个半月的葛底斯堡之役中阵亡的将士。

林肯的演讲修辞细腻周密，其后成为美国历史上最伟大的演说之一。

历史背景仪式进行与艾佛瑞特的‘葛底斯堡演说’林肯的葛底斯堡演说五份不同的手稿当时的原始资料与回应主题与内文分析市井传说大众文化中的葛底斯堡演说关于中译文英文原文历史背景林肯，姓氏，男子名。

常指亚伯拉罕·林肯，美国第16任总统。

他领导了美国南北战争，颁布了《解放黑人奴隶宣言》，维护了美联邦统一，为美国在19世纪跃居世界头号工业强国开辟了道路，使美国进入经济发展的黄金时代，被称为“伟大的解放者”。

联邦军阵亡者，提摩西·欧苏利文摄联邦军阵亡者，提摩西·欧苏利文摄葛底斯堡之役（1863年7月1日至3日），彻底改变了葛底斯堡这个小镇。

战场上，联邦波多马克军团与联盟国北维吉尼亚军团双方留下超过七千具的战士遗骸、数以千具战马尸骨，庄严有序地埋葬死者成为当地数千居民的首要之务。

尸体腐烂的恶臭在战事结束后一周内，使许多小镇居民剧烈作呕。

终于，在32岁富有检查官大卫·威尔斯（David Wills）的指示下，宾夕法尼亚州购下17英亩（69,000平方公尺）的土地作为墓园之用，以为这些葬送于烈日沙场的英灵善后。

威尔斯最初计划于1863年9月23日星期三题献这座墓园，并邀请时任国务卿的爱德华·艾佛瑞特、多名联邦参众议员、麻萨诸塞州州长、以及哈佛大学校长作为主讲人。

艾佛瑞特时为全国最知名的演说家，声名远播。

他回复威尔斯及治丧委员会，因时间仓促，无从备妥合适的演说，要求将日期延后。

林肯的演讲修辞细腻周密，其后成为美国历史上最伟大的演说之一。

林肯的讲话是极简短、极朴素的。

这往往使那些滔滔不绝的讲演家大瞧不起。

葛底斯堡战役后，决定为死难烈士举行盛大葬礼。

掩葬委员会发给总统一张普通的请帖，他们以为他是不会来的，但林肯答应了。

既然总统来，那一定要讲演的，但他们已经请了著名演说家艾佛瑞特来做这件事，因此，他们又给林肯写了信，说在艾佛瑞特演说完毕之后，他们希望他“随便讲几句适当的话”。

这是一个侮辱，但林肯平静地接受了。

两星期内，他在穿衣、刮脸、吃点心时也想着怎样演说。

演说稿改了两三次，他仍不满意。

到了葬礼的前一天晚上，还在做最后的修改，然后半夜找到他的同僚高声朗诵。

走进会场时，他骑在马上仍把头低到胸前默想着演说辞。

那位艾佛瑞特讲演了两个多小时，将近结束时，林肯不安地掏出旧式眼镜，又一次看他的讲稿。

他的演说开始了，一位记者支上三角架准备拍摄照片，等一切就绪的时候，林肯已走下讲台。

这段时间只有两分钟，而掌声却持续了10分钟。

后人给以极高评价的那份演说辞，在今天译成中文，也不过400字。

林肯的这篇演说是演说史上著名的篇章，其思想的深刻，行文的严谨，语言的冼练，确实是不愧彪炳青史的大手笔。

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 here to 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.葛底斯堡演说亚伯拉罕·林肯，1963年11月19日87年前，我们的先辈们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。

林肯在葛底斯堡的演说(中英对照)Lincoln’s Gettysburg Address(on Nov.19,1863)Four score and seven years ago, our fathers brought forth upon 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 battle field of the war. We have come to dedicate a portion of the field as the final resting-place of 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 power to add or to 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 here, to 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 here gave the last full measure of devotion; that we here highly resolve that these dead shall not have died in vain; that the nation shall. under God, have a new birth of freedom, and that government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the earth.美国总统林肯葛底斯堡演讲词八十七年前，我们的先辈们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。
