14、“i see a great day coming for our country and i am eager for the work ahead.“god bless you and may god bless america.”此次选民的投票率创下了历史新高，带来了历史性的胜利。今天早些时候，凯瑞参议员打电话祝贺我竞选成功。我们在电话中谈得很好，他非常亲切。凯瑞参议员发起了充满活力的竞选攻劫，他和他的支持者可以为此感到自豪。萝拉和我向凯瑞、爱德华兹以及他们全家表示最衷心的祝愿。美国做出了选择。对于同胞们的信任，我很感激。这种信任意味著我将承担为所有美国公民服务的义务。作为你们的总统，我
15、每天都将竭尽全力。我需要感谢许多人，首先是我的家人。劳拉是我一生的挚爱，我对你们也爱她感到高兴。我还要感谢在竞选后期加入竞选团的女儿，感谢兄弟姐妹们付出的努力，特别感谢严父慈母的支持。我感谢副总统、（他的夫人）切尼和他们的女儿。他们付出了努力，是竞选团的重要成员。副总统聪明睿智、正直高贵，我为跟他共事感到自豪。我感谢优秀的竞选团，感谢你们所有人付出的努力。你们的勤奋和智慧每天都给我留下了深刻的印象。我感谢全国上下成千上万名支持者，感谢你们在竞选集会上的拥抱、祈祷和亲切言语，感谢你们想方设法打出标语，呼吁邻居前去投票。正是由于你们付出了惊人的努力，我们今天才能庆祝胜利。有句谚语说，不要祈求能力所
16、能胜任的任务，要祈求能胜任任务的能力。在四年历史性时期，美国被赋予了伟大的任务，并以实力和勇气面对这些任务。我国人民使经济活力复苏，并在新型战争中显示出决心和耐心。我军已经将敌人绳之以法，给美国带来了荣誉。我国保卫了自己，维护了全人类的自由。领导这样出色的国家，我感到自豪；带领这个国家前进，我感到自豪。我们已经完成了艰难的任务，进入了充满希望的时期。我们将继续推动经济增长，改革落后的税法，为下一代加强社会保障。我们将尽量改善公立学校，维护在家庭和信仰方面的核心价值观。我们将帮助伊拉克和阿富汗建立民主制度以便他们增强实力和维护自由。然后，我军官兵将带著他们获得的荣誉回国。在优秀盟国的支持下，我们
17、将动用美国的一切力量打赢这场反恐战争，确保我们的孩子们的自由与和平。要实现这些目标，美国公民的广泛支持是必不可缺的。因此今天，我要对支持对手的所有人说，为了让美国变得更强大更美好，我需要你们的支持，我也将努力获得你们的支持，并将竭尽所能以担当得起你们的支持。新一届任期使我有机会影响整个国家。正是同一个国家、同一部宪法和同一个未来把我们联系在一起。当我们一起努力的时候，美国的前途无可限量。作为结束语，请允许我向得克萨斯州人民讲几句话：我们彼此认识的时间最长，你们是我旅程的起点。在得州广阔无垠的平原上，我初次学到了美国的特点：强壮有力、真诚坦率，充满了黎明般的希望。我将永远感谢这个州的优秀人民。不
18、管前方的路怎么样，这条路都将带我回家。选举已经结束，美国将充满自信地前进。我看到我们的国家正迎来伟大的日子，很期待下一周的开始。愿上帝保佑你们，保佑美国！ 我们都知道，马丁路德金是美国的民权运动领袖，他为黑人谋求平等，甚至献出了自己的生命，被誉为是“黑人的麦加”。而与此同时，马丁路德金也是一名卓越的反战斗士，他关心的不仅仅是“小我”的权利，而且还有“大我”的和平、自由。如果你一直以来只是把马丁路德金看成一个黑人运动领袖，那么下面的这篇演讲相信会让你对他有新的认识马 返隆鸬奈按笕烁裰档梦颐敲恳桓鲅鍪幼鹁础?br> 本演讲发表于1967年4月4日，是马丁路德金在“忧世教士和俗人协会”的一个反
19、越站的集会上的演讲，集会的地点是纽约著名的河边大教堂（riverside church）。 我之所以跨入此间宏伟的教堂，是因为我的良心让我别无选择。我加入你们的集会，则是因为我对这个聚合我们的组织“忧世教士和俗人协会”关注越南的工作和主旨非常认同。我对你们执委会最近的声明深有同感，当我阅读到它的开场白的时候就甚有共鸣：“这是一个沉默即是背叛的时刻。” i come to this magnificent house of worship tonight because my conscience leaves me no other choice. i join you in this mee

23、us in relation to vietnam.the truth of these words is beyond doubt, but the mission to which they call us is a most difficult one. even when pressed by the demands of inner truth, men do not easily assume the task of opposing their governments policy, especially in time of war. nor does the human sp
24、irit move without great difficulty against all the apathy of conformist thought within ones own bosom and in the surrounding world. moreover, when the issues at hand seem as perplexed as they often do in the case of this dreadful conflict, we are always on the verge of being mesmerized by uncertaint
25、y; but we must move on.and some of us who have already begun to break the silence of the night have found that the calling to speak is often a vocation of agony, but we must speak. we must speak with all the humility that is appropriate to our limited vision, but we must speak. and we must rejoice a
26、s well, for surely this is the first time in our nations history that a significant number of its religious leaders have chosen to move beyond the prophesying of smooth patriotism to the high grounds of a firm dissent based upon the mandates of conscience and the reading of history. perhaps a new sp
27、irit is rising among us. if it is, let us trace its movements and pray that our own inner being may be sensitive to its guidance, for we are deeply in need of a new way beyond the darkness that seems so close around us.over the past two years, as i have moved to break the betrayal of my own silences
28、 and to speak from the burnings of my own heart, as i have called for radical departures from the destruction of vietnam, many persons have questioned me about the wisdom of my path. at the heart of their concerns this query has often loomed large and loud: “why are you speaking about the war, dr. k
29、ing?” “why are you joining the voices of dissent?” “peace and civil rights dont mix,” they say. “arent you hurting the cause of your people,” they ask? and when i hear them, though i often understand the source of their concern, i am nevertheless greatly saddened, for such questions mean that the in
30、quirers have not really known me, my commitment or my calling. indeed, their questions suggest that they do not know the world in which they live.in the light of such tragic misunderstanding, i deem it of signal importance to try to state clearly, and i trust concisely, why i believe that the path f
31、rom dexter avenue baptist church - the church in montgomery, alabama, where i began my pastorate - leads clearly to this sanctuary tonight.i come to this platform tonight to make a passionate plea to my beloved nation. this speech is not addressed to hanoi or to the national liberation front. it is
32、not addressed to china or to russia. nor is it an attempt to overlook the ambiguity of the total situation and the need for a collective solution to the tragedy of vietnam. neither is it an attempt to make north vietnam or the national liberation front paragons of virtue, nor to overlook the role th
33、ey must play in the successful resolution of the problem. while they both may have justifiable reasons to be suspicious of the good faith of the united states, life and history give eloquent testimony to the fact that conflicts are never resolved without trustful give and take on both sides.tonight,
34、 however, i wish not to speak with hanoi and the national liberation front, but rather to my fellowed sic americans, *who, with me, bear the greatest responsibility in ending a conflict that has exacted a heavy price on both continents.since i am a preacher by trade, i suppose it is not surprising t
35、hat i have seven major reasons for bringing vietnam into the field of my moral vision.* there is at the outset a very obvious and almost facile connection between the war in vietnam and the struggle i, and others, have been waging in america. a few years ago there was a shining moment in that strugg
36、le. it seemed as if there was a real promise of hope for the poor - both black and white - through the poverty program. there were experiments, hopes, new beginnings. then came the buildup in vietnam, and i watched this program broken and eviscerated, as if it were some idle political plaything of a
37、 society gone mad on war, and i knew that america would never invest the necessary funds or energies in rehabilitation of its poor so long as adventures like vietnam continued to draw men and skills and money like some demonic destructive suction tube. so, i was increasingly compelled to see the war
38、 as an enemy of the poor and to attack it as such.perhaps the more tragic recognition of reality took place when it became clear to me that the war was doing far more than devastating the hopes of the poor at home. it was sending their sons and their brothers and their husbands to fight and to die i
39、n extraordinarily high proportions relative to the rest of the population. we were taking the black young men who had been crippled by our society and sending them eight thousand miles away to guarantee liberties in southeast asia which they had not found in southwest georgia and east harlem. and so
40、 we have been repeatedly faced with the cruel irony of watching negro and white boys on tv screens as they kill and die together for a nation that has been unable to seat them together in the same schools. and so we watch them in brutal solidarity burning the huts of a poor village, but we realize t
41、hat they would hardly live on the same block in chicago. i could not be silent in the face of such cruel manipulation of the poor.my third reason moves to an even deeper level of awareness, for it grows out of my experience in the ghettoes of the north over the last three years - especially the last
42、 three summers. as i have walked among the desperate, rejected, and angry young men, i have told them that molotov cocktails and rifles would not solve their problems. i have tried to offer them my deepest compassion while maintaining my conviction that social change comes most meaningfully through
43、nonviolent action. but they ask - and rightly so - what about vietnam? they ask if our own nation wasnt using massive doses of violence to solve its problems, to bring about the changes it wanted. their questions hit home, and i knew that i could never again raise my voice against the violence of th
44、e oppressed in the ghettos without having first spoken clearly to the greatest purveyor of violence in the world today - my own government. for the sake of those boys, for the sake of this government, for the sake of the hundreds of thousands trembling under our violence, i cannot be silent.for thos
45、e who ask the question, “arent you a civil rights leader?” and thereby mean to exclude me from the movement for peace, i have this further answer. in 1957 when a group of us formed the southern christian leadership conference, we chose as our motto: “to save the soul of america.” we were convinced t
46、hat we could not limit our vision to certain rights for black people, but instead affirmed the conviction that america would never be free or saved from itself until the descendants of its slaves were loosed completely from the shackles they still wear. in a way we were agreeing with langston hughes
47、, that black bard of harlem, who had written earlier:o, yes,i say it plain,america never was america to me,and yet i swear this oath -america will be!now, it should be incandescently clear that no one who has any concern for the integrity and life of america today can ignore the present war. if amer
48、icas soul becomes totally poisoned, part of the autopsy must read: vietnam. it can never be saved so long as it destroys the deepest hopes of men the world over. so it is that those of us who are yet determined that america will be are led down the path of protest and dissent, working for the health of our land.as if the weight of such a commitment to the life and health of america were not enough, another burden of responsibility was placed upon me in 1954* sic; and i cannot
