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.
八十七年前，我们的先辈在这片大陆上创立了一个新国家，它孕育于自由之中，奉行人人生而平等的宗旨。
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 battle-field of that war. We have come to dedicate a portion of that field, as a 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.
如今我们深陷一场大规模的内战，它考验着这个国家，或者任何生于自由，深信平等的国家能否长存。我们相聚于这场战役的一个重要战场上。我们来到这里，是要把这战场的一隅奉献给那些为了国家存续而阵亡的将士们，作为他们永久的安息之所。这是完全应该且非常恰当的。
But, in a larger sense, we can not dedicate – we can not consecrate – we can not hallow – this 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.
但是，从更广泛的意义上来说，我们无法奉献，无法圣化，无法神化这块土地。因为那些曾在此英勇斗争的人们，无论生死，已经将其圣化，这远不是我们微薄的力量所能增减的。我们在这里所说过的话，世界不会留意，也不会铭记；但他们在这里所做过的事，世界却决不会忘记。
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 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.
他们英勇奋斗至今，现在是我们生者献身于他们未竟事业的时候了！我们应当奉献于眼前的伟大事业——我们要从这些光荣的逝者身上汲取更多的信仰，来投身于他们为之竭尽最后一丝力量的事业——我们在此下定决心，定不让逝者白白牺牲；定要使国家获得自由的新生；定要使民有、民治、民享的政府永世长存。

听力材料原文
My father loved lists. Over 25 years, he recorded 539 books he read and 322 episodes of Booknotes on C-SPAN, which he watched every Sunday night. He also kept grocery lists for his mini-fridge – Pepsi, coffee, heavy cream – and daily tasks. These notes filled small notebooks, always near his reading chair. He wrote them until December 31, 2004, when cancer stopped him. After his death, I gathered the notebooks into a box. For years, I couldn’t bear to open them.
Born in 1927 in Lowell, Massachusetts, my father was the son of a leather-factory worker and grandson of an Irish immigrant who cleaned horse manure from the streets. Despite his humble beginnings, he was brilliant. After a summer in the leather factory, he graduated high school at 16 and went on to Boston College. He served in World War II and later earned degrees in physics. Then he worked at MIT’s Lincoln Laboratory, moved his family from Lowell to Boston, and sent his kids to private colleges. It seemed he had left Lowell behind – but not so. Deep down, he saw himself simply as a working-class Lowell kid who had just read a lot of books.
He didn’t travel much, and didn’t feel the need. When I asked if he regretted not seeing the world, he defended himself: “I’ve sailed the Atlantic in stormy winds, climbed the Himalayas, and stared down wild animals.” Then he added, “I read.” Books were his world. From them, he learned to survive landslides, shark attacks, and even gorilla attacks. He had what he called “a rich inner life” and it was true.
Shortly before his death, he opened a small purple notebook and began one last list. It described details from 1930s Lowell – things lost in time. Twenty years later, I found it. In his flowing handwriting, Dad reached back to Lowell – a time long gone, now captured only in memory. Lost and only in memory – that was how I was experiencing Dad now. Squinting my eyes, I saw not just the city he loved, but the quiet, extraordinary man I called Dad.
