林肯《葛底斯堡演说》英文原文以及翻译
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.
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 battlefield 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. 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.
八十七年前，我们的父辈在这块大陆上创建了一个新的国家。这个新的国家在自由中孕育，信奉人人生而平等的主张。现在我们正在从事伟大的国内战争，来考验这个国家，或任何在自由中孕育，信奉人人生而平等的主张的国家，能否长久存在下去。我们今天相聚在这场战争的一个伟大的战场上。我们相聚在这里是为了把这伟大战场的一部分奉献给那些为了我们国家的生存而献出了生命的烈士们作为最后的安息地。我们这样做完全是合情合理的。但在更广泛的意义上来说，我们不能奉献这块土地，我们不能使这块土地神圣，我们不能使这块土地光耀。那些勇敢的人们，那些曾经在这里战斗过的，活着和死去的人们，已经使这块土地神圣了，远非我们所能增加或减少。世界不大会注意，也不会永久记住我们今天在这里所说的话，但世界决不能忘记他们在这里所做过的事情。我们这些活着的人，倒是应该在这里献身于他们长久以来如此高尚地推进的，尚未完成的工作。我们倒是应该在这里献身于留在我们面前的伟大任务：那就是继承这些光荣的先烈，对他们在这里作出最后全部贡献的事业，作出我们进一步的贡献；那就是我们在这里狠下决心，决不让这些先烈的死成为白白的牺牲；那就是我们的国家一定要在上帝底下获得新的自由；那就是决不让人民的政府，人民选举的政府，为了人民的政府从地球上消亡。

林肯葛底斯堡演讲这篇文章通过描写林肯在葛底斯堡中为死去士兵的演讲，表达了林肯致力于人生平等和自由的信念，和为了那些在美国南北内战中为了自由和平等而牺牲的英雄们默哀。
