Task2:Enjoy the sentences(you can discuss them)
1. 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.
可是,从更广泛的意义上来说,我们是不能奉献,不能圣化,也不能神化这片土地的,因为那些曾经在这里战斗过的人们,活着的和死去的人们,已经圣化了这片土地,我们无力为其添彩些什么或者诋毁些什么.
2.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.
这更要求我们这些活着的人继承英雄们为之战斗并使之前进的未竟事业。
3. 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.
倒是我们这些生者要继续为摆在我们面前的伟大事业献身,由于他们的光荣牺牲,我们会更加献身于他们为之奉献了最后一切的事业 ——我们要下定决心使那些死去的人不致自白牺牲,要使我们这个国家在上帝的保佑下得到自由的新生,使这个民有、民治、民享的政府将永世长存!
