It would be fatal for America to overlook the urgency of the moment and to underestimate the determination of the Negro. This sweltering summer of the Negro's legitimate discontent will not pass until there is an invigorating autumn of freedom and equality. Nineteen sixty-three is not an end, but a beginning. There will be neither rest nor tranquility in America until the Negro is granted his citizenship rights. The whirlwinds of revolt will continue to shake the foundations of our nation until the bright day of justice emerges.

如果美国对此时此刻的迫切性视而不见，低估黑人的决心，那么这对美国的命运来说将是致命的。自由平等、令人心旷神怡的秋天遥遥无期，黑人正当愤怒的闷热夏季就不会消失。1963年并不是终结，而是一个开端。只要黑人得不到公民权益，美国就不可能有安宁和稳定。反抗的旋风会继续撼动这个国家的根基，直到光明正义的日子来临。

我们在吸收外国文化精华的时候，不应为毫无创造的一味模仿而得意。沉溺于简单的模仿将扼杀创造力，我们也将不可能攀登艺术的新高峰，不可能向世界展示我们自己创作的优秀作品。简单的模仿与新意和创意完全是两回事。事实上，新意和创意是现代风格与传统风格的融合，是外国特色与本民族特色的融合，是艺术特质与教育本质的融合。

While absorbing the essence of a foreign culture, we should not be content with imitation without creation. An obsession with simple imitation will sterilize creation, and as such it will be impossible for us to scale new heights in art and impossible to present to the world excellent works of our own creation. Simple imitation is by no means equivalent to novelty and originality. On the contrary, novelty and originality result from the combination of modern and traditional styles, the combination of the distinctive features of foreign countries with those of our own nation, and the combination of artistry and education.

Alfred Nobel, the great Swedish inventor and industrialist, was a man of many contrasts. He was a son of a bankrupt man, but become a millionaire; a scientist with a love of literature, an industrialist who managed to remain idealist. He made a fortune but lived a simple life, and although cheerful in company he was often sad in private. A lover of mankind, he never had a wife or family to love him; a patriotic son of his native land, he died alone on foreign soil. He invented a new explosive----dynamite, to improve the peacetime industries of mining and road building, but saw it used as a weapon of war to kill and injure his fellow men. During his useful life he often felt he was useless. World famous for his works, he was never personally well known, for throughout his life he avoided publicity, but since his death, his name has brought fame and glory to others.

The paradoxes are everywhere. We are able to believe that our

government is weak, stupid, overbearing, dishonest, and inefficient, and at the same time we are deeply convinced that it is the best government in the world, and we would like to impose it upon everyone else. We speak of the American way of life as though it involved the ground rules for the governance of heaven. We shout that we are a nation of laws, not men — and then proceed to break every law we can if we can get away with it. We proudly insist that we base our political positions on the issues — and we will vote against a man because of his religion, his name, or the shape of his nose.

悖论随处可见。我们可以认为我们的政府软弱、愚蠢、专横、虚伪、低效，但同时我们又深信它是世界上最好的政府，恨不得把它强加给世界上所有其他的国家。说起美国生活方式，似乎它是天堂完美秩序的人间翻版。我们叫嚷我国是法治而非人治的国家，然而只要能

(翻译）

使自己摆脱某些教条的好办法之一是了解自己生活圈子以外人们所持的观点。你要是觉得人们和报纸失却常理，颠倒是非，甚至邪恶，这时你就得提醒自己，在他们眼里你没有什么两样。这么思考双方都可能是对的，却不可能都是错的。这样的反思可以给人一个警觉。

想像力丰富的人可以设想自己跟一个不同见解的人进行辩论，这不失为一个好办法。相比真正的辩论，这样做有一个好处，也仅有一个好处，那就是它不受时空的限制。

A good way of ridding yourself of certain kinds of dogmatism is to become aware of opinions held in social circles different from your own. If the people and the newspaper seem mad, perverse, and wicked, remind yourself that you seem so to them. In this opinion both parties may be right, but they cannot both be wrong. This reflection should generate a certain caution,

For those who have enough psychological imagination is a good plan to imagine

an argument with a person have a different bias. This has one advantage, and only one, as compared with actual conversation with opponents; this one advantage is that the method is not subject to the same.

A long, long time ago, people rose with the sun, and set with it.

Nobody cared if it was sunny somewhere else. Voices didn't carry across the planet. Time was a local concept: time to milk the cows, time to get in the wheat and rice, time to sit and rest. Who knows when the changes began; all these have changed. Today, commerce and communication never cease but go around the clock. On cable TV news shows, event did

not happen at such and such hour, but an hour or thirty minutes ago. Local time is no longer the meaning marker of events.

从前，人们日出而作，日落而息。没有人关心其他地方是否阳光灿烂。声音传达不到地球的另一端。时间只是一个区域性概念：挤牛奶有规定的时间，收割稻麦有规定的时间，坐下来休息也有规定的时间。不知从哪一天起，这些事情都发生了变化。今天，商务和通讯24小时不停地进行着。有线电视新闻节目中报道的事件不再是哪个小时发生的，而是一小时或30分钟前的事情。当地时间不再是一个有意义的事件标志。
