1、The document they produced was eventually signed but ultimately unfinished。

After heated debate and compromises，the Constitution was finally adopted by the Constitutional Convention and 39 out of 55 delegates signed the document。

My personal background and my success story,rising from rags to riches，also teaches me the importance of unity
3、But it is a story that has seared into my genetic makeup the idea that this nation is more than the sum of its parts——-that out of many，we are truly one.
I am deeply ingrained,through my experience in the United States,with the idea that America is not a total of adding everything together but is the product of fusion,of sharing the same creed。

4、Throughout the first year of this campaign，against all predictions to the contrary,we saw how hungry the American people were for this message of unity.
In spite of all announcements that America was not ready for a black president,that I would fall in the campaign,we gained momentum in the first year of the campaign，which showed that the American people demanded unity and change.

The week before the Democrats were to select their delegates to the national convention in South Carolina，attacks on me，on blacks became more frequent,more intense.

8、I can no more disown him than I can disown the black community.
It is impossible for me to cast him off just as it is impossible for me to repudiate the black community.

二百二十一年前，就在街对面的大厅里，一群人聚集在一起，用这样简朴的语言，开始了美国的民主实践,这在当时被认为是难以成功的。

2、It was stained by this nation’s original sin of slavery, a question that divided the colonies and brought the convention to a stalemate until the founders chose to allow the slave trade to continue for at least twenty more years，and to leave any final resolution to future generations.
它被原罪的奴隶玷污了，这个问题使各州对立,并一度使宪会议陷入僵局。

后来开国者们允许奴隶买卖延续了至少二十年，而把问题的最终解决留给了后代。

3、It’s a story that hasn’t made me the most conventional of candidates。

But it is a story that has seared into my genetic makeup the idea that this nation is more than the sum of its parts-—-that out of many，we are truly one.
我的故事没有把我变成一个十分守旧的候选人.但这种经历却把这样一种观念深深地烙在我的身上，美国不是一个由各种成分简单叠加构成的集合体—-—而是由多种成分融合成的一个整体.
4、Instead，they expressed a profoundly distorted view of this country---a view that sees white racism as endemic，and that elevates what is wrong with America above all that we know is right with America；a view that sees the conflicts in the Middle East as rooted primarily in the actions of stalwart allies like Israel,instead of emanating from the perverse and hateful ideologies of radical Islam。

相反地，这些言论反映了一种严重扭曲的这个国家的观点。

这种观点认为白人种族主义是美国特有的一种流行病，并使美国出现的问题凌驾于其他美好的东西之上.这种观点认为中东冲突的根源在于我们的忠实盟友以色列的做法，而不是源于伊斯兰激进分子扭曲和充满仇恨的意识形态。

5、Those stories——-of survival，and freedom，and hope---became our story，my story；the blood that had spilled was our blood,the tears our tears；until this black church,on this bright day，seemed once more a vessel carrying the story of a people into future generations and into a larger world。

这些故事—-—关于生存、自由、希望的故事——-成为我们的故事和我的故事。

曾经流过的血是我们的血，曾经流过的眼泪是我们的眼泪。

直到今天这个阳光明媚的日子，这个黑人的教会又一次承载着这个民族的故事，传承给后代，传达给世界上更多的人。

ignorance，the struggles and successes,the love and yes，the bitterness and biases that make up the black experience in America.

在与他的谈话中我从没听过他用贬损的语言谈到另一个族裔，而他在与白人打交道时也总是表现得十分礼貌和尊重.
8、We would be making the same mistake that Reverend Wright made in his offending sermons about America—-—to simplify and stereotype and amplify the negative to the point that it distorts reality.
赖特牧师布道时对美国攻击的言论犯了一个错误-——简单化，妖魔化,并把负面的东西无限夸大,导致对现实的歪曲，而这种错误我们也会犯。

第十课:paraphrase
1、Understanding this reality requires a reminder of how we arrived at this point。

In order to understand the complexities of race we need to know the history and development of racial relations,the sufferings and injustices the blacks were subjected to。

2、“The past isn’t dead and buried 。

In fact，it isn't even past.”
The influence of what happened in previous times has not disappeared。

Such influence can still be seen.
3、But for all those who scratched and clawed their way to get a piece of the American Dream，there were many who didn't make it-—-those who were ultimately defeated,in one way or another，by discrimination.
Out of those who worked or struggle very hard to climb the social ladder,many did not succeed.They were defeated in life’s struggle，as a result of racial discrimination。

4、But it does find voice in the barbershop or the beauty shop or around the kitchen table。

Views colored by race may come up at informal conversation at the barbershop where men meet，or over dinner among family members.
5、And occasionally it finds voice in the church on Sunday morning，in the pulpit and in the pews.
And once in a while such sentiments are expressed in sermons and among church congregations。

6、They are anxious about their futures,and feel their dreams slipping away；and in an era of stagnant wages and global competition,opportunity comes to be seen as a zero sum game，in which your dreams come at my expense.
As a result,white Americans are very much worried about their future，feeling that their American dream is coming to an end,feeling hopeless and hopeless.So they have a hostile attitude toward those whom they consider their competitors.
7、Talk show hosts and conservative commentators built entire careers unmasking bogus claims of racism while dismissing legitimate discussions of racial injustice and inequality as mere political correctness or reverse racism。

Talk show hosts and conservative commentators became famous through exposing so-called unreal incidents of racism and labeled reasonable discussion of unfair treatment of minorities as catering to excessive sensibility to minority causes or as racism against the whites.
8、It's a racial stalemate we've been stuck in for years.
The anger of the blacks and the resentment of the whites are not groundless.Both groups have legitimate concerns.Yet their anger is directed toward the wrong targets,thus hampering the solution of the issues which cause the anger。

Neither side has come to see the problem。

So a racial deadlock exists.
9、For the African-American community,that path means embracing the burdens of our past without becoming victims of our past.
The black community should face and handle bravely the legacy of racial injustice of the past while at the same time should not feel they are being wrong all the time.
10、In the white community,the path to a more perfect union means acknowledging that what ails the African-American community and current incidents of discrimination,while less overt than in the past,and these things are real and must be addressed.
For the whites,they should see clearly that the wrong done to the blacks in the past is a fact and subtle discrimination still exists today and should be solved properly。
