I have a dream that one day, down in Alabama, with its vicious racists, with its governor having his lips dripping with the words of "interposition" and "nullification"
语言点:
1.vicious racists:严重的种族歧视者
sexist:性别歧视
拓展:-ist释义
2.interposition and nullification
州长会满口异议,说出“干预”和“废除”法案这种词。
不懂文化背景?如果是单词的问题,直接去查字典,字里行间表达的问题要善用搜索工具。
one day right there in Alabama little black boys and black girls will be able to join hands with little white boys and white girls as sisters and brothers.
I have a dream today!
3.sisters and brothers一个语块,中间不要停顿
I have a dream that one day every valley shall be exalted, and every hill and mountain shall be made low, the rough places will be made plain, and the crooked places will be made straight; "and the glory of the Lord shall be revealed and all flesh shall see it together."
4.exalt:升高,valley shall be exalted一译为幽谷上升
5.crooked:念/krʊkɪd/是形容词,意为歪的、弯曲的
念/krʊkt/是crook这个词的过去分词
6.这段话来自圣经,大意为只有当自然环境发生巨大变化的时候,上帝才会出现。
This is our hope, and this is the faith that I go back to the South with.
With this faith, we will be able to hew out of the mountain of despair a stone of hope.
7.在金博士这篇演讲中九个“I have a dream”的排比中还有三个“with this faith”排比,荡气回肠。
8.记忆mountain of despair这种表达的时候就当作一个词来背下来。
9.hew out of the mountain of despair a stone of hope.
一般说hew B out of A 从A上砍下一角B
从绝望之山上砍下一块希望之石
With this faith, we will be able to transform the jangling discords of our nation into a beautiful symphony of brotherhood. With this faith, we will be able to work together, to pray together, to struggle together, to go to jail together, to stand up for freedom together, knowing that we will be free one day.
10.几个together增强气势,不变中有变化的力量,节奏感十足。
11.stand up for/stick up for 维护、捍卫
语音点:
1.不要有太多的上扬、平调和降调,没说完的信息可以平调。
2.短语是形容词+名词的时候,重音一般在名词上;固定复合词,set phrase(重音在第一个词)。还是要看着重点,比如说English teacher重音在前面的话就是英语老师,放后面是来自英国的老师。
