十月晨读 I have a dream - day 8

演讲文本：

And so even though we face the difficulties of today and tomorrow, I still have a dream. It is a dream deeply rooted in the American dream.

I have a dream that one day this nation will rise up and live out the true meaning of its creed: "We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal."

I have a dream that one day on the red hills of Georgia, the sons of former slaves and the sons of former slave owners will be able to sit down together at the table of brotherhood.

I have a dream that one day even the state of Mississippi, a state sweltering with the heat of injustice, sweltering with the heat of oppression, will be transformed into an oasis of freedom and justice.

I have a dream that my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin but by the content of their character.

I have a dream today!

段落知识点梳理：

And so even though/ we face the difficulties /of today and tomorrow, I still have a dream. It is a dream /deeply rooted in the American dream.

1. 读音注意：'difficulties

2. deeply rooted 根深蒂固

3. 从这段开始是即兴演讲的部分

difficulties of today and tomorrow 之前是晓之以理，以后是动之以情，即兴演讲（on the spot, improvise) He made it up as he went along.

I have a dream /that one day/ this nation will rise up/ and live out the true meaning of its creed: "We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal."

1. live out 实现      live out something/ live something out

live out the true meaning of its creed 真正实现其信条的真谛  （宾语后置）

put...into practice; 

2. creed ：信条，教义

A creed is a set of beliefs, principles, or opinions that strongly influence the way people live or work.

3. 发音注意：

equal： /'ikwəl/

truths   th和s挨着时，s音比较强，th可不发

created    /cri'eidid/ 

4. We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal.

这句话来自《独立宣言》；林肯的葛底斯堡演说也有

self-evident 不言而喻；显而易见   

同义表达：crystal clear; clear cut; obvious; evidently; apparent; it goes without saying.

（平时要有意识地想想这个词还可以怎么说)

I have a dream/ that one day on the red hills of Georgia, the sons of former slaves/ and the sons of former slave owners /will be able to sit down together /at the table of brotherhood.

1. 发音：one  /wʌn/; son /sʌn/ (son类似于散，不要发成song /sɔŋ/的音；不是丧）（这也是自己说的不好的音，之前有读错过）

2. 重复：former slaves 

3.  sit down together at the table of brotherhood. 坐下来，共续兄弟情义

上文提到过 solid rock of brotherhood

I have a dream/ that one day /even the state of Mississippi, a state sweltering with the heat of injustice, sweltering with the heat of oppression, will be transformed into an oa'sis of freedom and justice.

1. sweltering : very hot (上文出现过）

2. 注意oasis 发音 /əʊ'eɪsɪs/

I have a dream/ that my four little children /will one day live in a nation /where they will not be judged/ by the color of their skin/ but by the content/ of their character.

I have a dream today!

1. color; content    押头韵

2. 形容人的肤色时，不要用black & white （指人种)

可用：fair  白皙的 （肤色较浅色的）

fair-complexioned 肤色白皙的

 pale 苍白的    

dark   黑的

tanned ：黝黑的；皮肤晒黑的 （having skin that has been made darker by the sun）

light 浅色的

其他短语：

1. nip it in the bud  阻止时态恶化（防患于未然，尽早把坏毛病改过来）

2. be conditioned to  习惯于；适应于

conditioned 有条件的   conditioned response 条件反射 = conditioned reflex

3. wired  /waɪrd/  to  连接到

4. it sticks in your mind 余音绕梁

5. get sth out of your chest   说出你的心里话

6. 推荐：Simon Sinek  的 TED 演讲：golden circle（黄金法则）：Why，How，What

7. eloquent  /'ɛləkwənt/ ：有口才的；有说服力的（ Speech or writing that is eloquent is well expressed and effective in persuading people；having or showing the ability to use language clearly and effectively ）

e.g. The speech of Dr. Martin Luther King is eloquent.

8. 关于语音，最重要的是：刻意练习，而不是无效果地练习了多少遍；在练习的时候一定要有意识地寻求反馈和指正

Dr. Martin Luther King 的即兴演讲是厚积薄发，真实，真诚，有着语言的美和力量，需要我们好好学习！
