英语六级晨读美文100篇:Address at Gettysburg(52)

　　Four score and seven years ago, our fathers brought forth on 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 battlefield of that war.

　　We have come to dedicate a portion of that field as final resting place

　　for those who here gave their lives that that nation might live.

　　It is altogether fitting and proper that we should do this.

　　But, in larger sense, we cannot dedicatewe cannot consecratewe cannot hallowthis ground.

　　The brave men, living and dead, who struggled here,

　　have consecrated it far above our poor power to add or 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 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.
