英语晨读材料

前言

Preface

北邮英语俱乐部是一个历史悠久的社团，连续几年荣获北邮“五佳社团”的称号，其中晨读和英语角是社团的常规活动。

晨读，从星期一到星期五，清晨7点到8点。晨读材料主要分为三个板块，学习版、娱乐版和英语角专版。学习版主要印发比较正式的文章，如著名的演讲和经典美文。娱乐版会印发一些比较轻松的文章、歌曲或电影介绍。英语角专版会印发与本周主题相关的材料，为英语角的交流做准备，并且对上一周的英语角实用英语用法进行总结。

由于编者也只是在校学生，不具备特别高的水平，在文章筛选和处理方面难免出现错误，欢迎大家指正。

同时欢迎大家为我们英俱的活动提供宝贵的意见和建议。英俱会给予积极参加活动和热心帮助社团建设的同学一定的物质奖励。

希望在我们的活动中，您能认识更多志同道合的朋友，找到一个适合自己的方法，感受到英语学习的乐趣。

经典演讲 I Have A Dream

星期一Monday Martin Luther King, Jr. (January 15,

1929 – April 4, 1968) was an American clergyman,

activist, and prominent leader in the African Ameri-

can civil rights movement. He is best known for be-

ing an iconic figure in the advancement of civil

rights in the United States and around the world, using nonviolent meth-ods following the teachings of Mahatma Gandhi. King is often presented as a heroic leader in the history of modern American liberalism.

A Baptist minister, King became a civil rights activist early in his ca-reer. He led the 1955 Montgomery Bus Boycott and helped found the Southern Christian Leadership Conference in 1957, serving as its first president. King's efforts led to the 1963 March on Washington, where King delivered his "I Have a Dream" speech. There, he expanded Ameri-can values to include the vision of a color blind society, and established his reputation as one of the greatest orators in American history.

In 1964, King became the youngest person to receive the Nobel Peace Prize for his work to end racial segregation and racial discrimi-nation through civil disobedience and other nonviolent means. By the time of his death in 1968, he had refocused his efforts on ending poverty and stopping the Vietnam War.

King was assassinated on April 4, 1968, in Memphis, Tennessee. He was posthumously awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom in 1977 and Congressional Gold Medal in 2004; Martin Luther King, Jr. Day was established as a U.S. national holiday in 1986.

我有一个梦想 I Have A Dream(节选）

I say to you today, my friends, that in spite of the difficulties and frustrations of the moment, I still have a dream. It is a dream deeply rooted in the American dream.

朋友们，今天我要对你们说，尽管眼下困难重重，但我依然怀有一个梦。这个梦深深植根于美国梦之中。

经典演讲 I Have A Dream 星期一Monday I have a dream that one day this nation will rise up and live out the true meaning of its creed: "We hold these truths to be self-evident: that all men are created equal."

我梦想有一天，这个国家将会奋起，实现其立国信条的真谛：“我们认为这些真理不言而喻：人人生而平等。”

I have a dream that one day on the red hills of Georgia the sons of former slaves and the sons of former slaveowners will be able to sit down together at a table of brotherhood.

我梦想有一天，在佐治亚州的红色山岗上，昔日奴隶的儿子能够同昔日奴隶主的儿子同席而坐，亲如手足。

I have a dream that one day even the state of Mississippi, a desert state, sweltering with the heat of injustice and oppression, will be trans-formed into an oasis of freedom and justice.

我梦想有一天，甚至连密西西比州——一个非正义和压迫的热浪逼人的荒漠之州，也会改造成为自由和公正的青青绿洲。 I have a dream that my four children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin but by the content of their character.

我梦想有一天，我的四个小女儿将生活在一个不是以皮肤的颜色，而是以品格的优劣作为评判标准的国家里。

I have a dream today. 我今天怀有一个梦。

I have a dream that one day the state of Alabama, whose governor's lips are presently dripping with the words of interposition and nullifica-tion, will be transformed into a situation where little black boys and

black girls will be able to join hands with little white boys and white girls and walk together as sisters and brothers.

我梦想有一天，亚拉巴马州会有所改变——尽管该州州长现在仍滔滔不绝地说什么要对联邦法令提出异议和拒绝执行——在那里，黑人儿童能够和白人儿童兄弟姐妹般地携手并行。

I have a dream today.

我今天怀有一个梦。

经典演讲 I Have A Dream 星期一Monday I have a dream that one day every valley shall be exalted, every hill and mountain shall be made low, the rough places will be made plain, and the crooked places will be made straight, and the glory of the Lord shall be revealed, and all flesh shall see it together.

我梦想有一天，深谷弥合，高山夷平，歧路化坦途，曲径成通衢，上帝的光华再现，普天下生灵共谒。

This is our hope. This is the faith with which I return to the South. With this faith we will be able to hew out of the mountain of despair a stone of hope. With this faith we will be able to transform the jangling discords of our nation into a beautiful symphony of brotherhood. With this faith we will be able to work together, to pray together, to struggle together, to go to jail together, to stand up for freedom together, knowing that we will be free one day.

这是我们的希望。这是我将带回南方去的信念。有了这个信念，我们就能绝望之山开采出希望之石。有了这个信念，我们就能把这个国家的嘈杂刺耳的争吵声，变为充满手足之情的悦耳交响曲。有了这个信念，我们就能一同工作，一同祈祷，一同斗争，一同入狱，一同维护自由，因为我们知道，我们终有一天会获得自由。

This will be the day when all of God's children will be able to sing with a new meaning, "My country, 'tis of thee, sweet land of liberty, of thee I sing. Land where my fathers died, land of the pilgrim's pride, from every mountainside, let freedom ring."

从到了这一天，上帝的所有孩子都能以新的含义高唱这首歌： 我的祖国,可爱的自由之邦, 我为您歌唱。这是我祖先终老的地方，这是早期移民自豪的地方，让自由之声，响彻每一座山岗。 And if America is to be a great nation this must become true. So let freedom ring from the prodigious hilltops of New Hampshire. Let free-dom ring from the mighty mountains of New York. Let freedom ring from the heightening Alleghenies of Pennsylvania!

Let freedom ring from the snowcapped Rockies of Colorado! Let freedom ring from the curvaceous peaks of California!

5

经典演讲 I Have A Dream 星期一Monday But not only that; let freedom ring from Stone Mountain of Georgia! Let freedom ring from Lookout Mountain of Tennessee!

Let freedom ring from every hill and every molehill of Mississippi. From every mountainside, let freedom ring.

如果美国要成为伟大的国家，这一点必须实现。因此，让自由之声响彻新罕布什尔州的巍峨高峰！

让自由之声响彻纽约州的崇山峻岭！

让自由之声响彻宾夕法尼亚州的阿勒格尼高峰！

让自由之声响彻科罗拉多州冰雪皑皑的洛基山！

让自由之声响彻加利福尼亚州的婀娜群峰！

不，不仅如此；让自由之声响彻佐治亚州的石山！

让自由之声响彻田纳西州的望山！

让自由之声响彻密西西比州的一座座山峰，一个个土丘！ 让自由之声响彻每一个山岗！

When we let freedom ring, when we let it ring from every village and every hamlet, from every state and every city, we will be able to speed up that day when all of God's children, black men and white men, Jews and Gentiles, Protestants and Catholics, will be able to join hands and sing in the words of the old Negro spiritual, "Free at last! free at last! thank God Almighty, we are free at last!"

当我们让自由之声轰响，当我们让自由之声响彻每一个大村小庄，每一个州府城镇，我们就能加速这一天的到来。那时，上帝的所有孩子，黑人和白人，犹太教徒和非犹太教徒，耶稣教徒和天主教徒，将能携手同唱那首古老的黑人灵歌：“终于自由了！终于自由了！感谢全能的上帝，我们终于自由了！”

流行金曲Way Back Into Love 星期二Tuesday Music and Lyrics is a 2007 American

romantic comedy film written and directed by Marc

Lawrence. It focuses on the relationship that evolves

between a former pop music idol (of the fictional

band PoP! similar to Wham! and Duran Duran) and

an aspiring writer as they struggle to compose a song

for the reigning pop diva.

A washed up singer is given a couple days to

compose a chart-topping hit for an aspiring teen sen-

sation. Though he's never written a decent lyric in his

life, he sparks with an offbeat younger woman with a flair for words. Way Back Into Love is a pop song, written by Adam

Schlesinger, from the 2007 film Music and Lyrics. There are two ver-sions: a demo version sung by Hugh Grant and Drew Barrymore and the final version sung by Hugh Grant and Haley Bennett. It was used as the love theme in the film, much of whose plot revolves around the writing and arranging of the song.

励志短文Nothing can take the place of persistence 星期三Wednesday

Crazy English

Crazy English is a brand name related to a

non-traditional method of learning English in

mainland China conceived by Li Yang. Li be-

lieves that the traditional way of learning English

in China is ineffective. Li Yang's method places

heavy emphasis on practicing English orally. His

method can be described with the quote "To shout out loud, you learn." Students practice his technique by going behind buildings or on rooftops and shouting English. They also go to his rallies and shout together; this helps them overcome their shyness (everybody is doing it, so nobody is embarrassed). In many ways it remains similar to the traditional pedagogic prac-tices of Chinese education in that it still relies on repetition and recitation. Members of the school administration in China often disapprove of the method because they believe it goes against the traditional Chinese values of modesty and restraint.

Nothing can take the place of persistence Nothing in this world can take the place of persistence. Talent will not; nothing is more common than unsuccessful people with talent. Genius will not; unrewarded genius is al-most a proverb. Education will not; the world is full of edu-cated derelicts. Persistence and determination alone are om-nipotent.

Perseverance does not always mean sticking to the same thing forever. It means giving full concentration and effort to whatever you are doing, right now! It means doing the tough

励志短文Nothing can take the place of persistence 星期三Wednesday things first and looking downstream for gratification and re-wards. It means making more calls, going more miles, pulling more weeds, getting up earlier in the day and always being on the lookout for a better way of doing what you’re doing. Per-sistence is success though trial and error.

参考译文

世界上没有任何东西可以替代毅力。才干不可以，无所作为的能人十分普遍；天分不可以，碌碌无为的天才尽人皆知；教育不可以，受过良好教育的没落者更是随处可见。只要有毅力和决心，就是无所不能的。

毅力并不总是以为这永远坚持做同一件事。它意味着无论你做任何事情，你都要立刻全心投入，竭尽全力；它意味着先做艰苦的工作，再去期待随之而来的满足和回报。它意味着开心地工作，渴望更多的知识和进步。它意味着多打几个电话，多走几里路，多除草，早起床，意味着总是寻求更好的方式去做你在做的事情。尽管要历经考验与挫败，但若能坚持就能走向成功。
