先讀課文﹕

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 battle-field 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 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. 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.
