THE

GETTYSBURG

ADDRESS

Four score and seven years ago our fathers brought forth

upon 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 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 this nation might live.It is altogether

fitting and proper that we should do this.But, in a larger sense, we cannot dedicate…we cannot

consecrate…we cannot 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.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.November 19, 1863

Four score and seven years ago our fathers brought forth, upon 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 battle field of that war.We have come to dedicate a portion of it, as a final resting place for those who died here, that the nation might live.This we may, in all propriety do.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 hallowed it, far above our poor power to add or detract.The world will little note, nor long remember what we say here;while it can never forget what they did here.It is rather for us, the living, to stand here, we here be dedicated to the great task remaining before us—that, from these honored dead we take increased devotion to that cause for which they here, gave the last full measure of devotion—that we here highly resolve these dead shall not have died in vain;that the 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.Hay Draft

八十七年前，我们的先辈们在這个大陸上建立了一個孕育自由、尊崇“人人生而平等”的新國家。現在我們正从事一場伟大的內戰，一场检验这个国家或者任何拥有这种信念和原则的国家是否能够长期生存的内战。

我們今天在這场內戰的一个伟大的戰場上聚会，我们要獻出这个战场的一部分，給那些為這個國家的長存而付出了生命的人作為他們最後的安息之所。尽管這樣做是適當的、應該的，但在更大的意義上說，我们不能奉献这片土地，我们不能使之神圣，我们不能使之尊严，因为那些曾经在这里奋斗过，活着的和已经牺牲的勇士们，已经使这块土地神圣化了，远非我们的微薄能力所能再增减（这里的神圣与尊严）。

我们今天在这里所说的话，全世界也许不大会注意，也不会长久地记住，但勇士们在这里所做过的事，全世界却永远不会忘记。对于我們还活着的人们下面應該做的，是繼續去完成勇士们已经取得了輝煌战績但还未完成的事业

我们应该从那些为这个事业已经付出了一切的死者身上获得更坚定的信念，我们应该在这里下定最大的决心一定要让那些死难者不致于白白牺牲，我们要让这个民族在上帝的庇佑下，获得自由的新生，让这个属于人民、依靠人民、为人民服务的政府与世长存
