美国经典英文演讲100篇:The Great Society(3)
The Great Society rests on abundance and liberty for all. It demands an end topovertyand racial injustice, to which we are totally committed in our time. But that is just the beginning.
The Great Society is a place where every child can find knowledge to enrich his mind and to enlarge his talents. It is a place where leisure is a welcome chance to build and reflect, not a feared cause of boredom and restlessness. It is a place where the city of man serves not only the needs of the body and the demands of commerce but the desire for beauty and the hunger for community. It is a place where man can renew contact with nature. It is a place which honors creation for its own sake and for what is adds to the understanding of the race. It is a place where men are more concerned with the quality of their goals than the quantity of their goods.
“伟大的社会”建立在所有人丰裕和自由的基础上。为此，我们必须消灭贫穷和种族歧视，在我们这个时代，我们要为之奉献出一切。但这还仅仅是个开端。
在“伟大社会”里，每个儿童都能够获得知识，丰富思想，增长才干；在“伟大社会”里，悠闲成为人们期望创建的机会，而不是产生厌倦和不安的可怕原因；在“伟大社会”里，城市不仅满足物质和商业需求，也满足人们对美的向往和对参与社会的渴望；在“伟大社会”里，人们可以重新回到自然的怀抱；在“伟大社会”里，为自身创造和增进种族理解的行为受到尊重；在“伟大社会”里，人们关注自己的高尚目标胜过关注自己获得的物质财富。
