We cannot walk alone.
我们不能单独行动。
And as we walk,
当我们行动时,
we must make the pledge that we shall always march ahead.
我们必须保证勇往直前。
We cannot turn back.
我们不能后退。
There are those who are asking the devotees of civil rights,
有人问热心民权运动的人:
"When will you be satisfied?"
“你们什么时候会感到满意?”
We can never be satisfied
as long as the Negro is the victim of the unspeakable horrors of police brutality.
只要黑人依然是不堪形容的警察暴行恐怖的牺牲品,我们就决不会满意。
We can never be satisfied
as long as our bodies, heavy with the fatigue of travel,
cannot gain lodging in the motels of the highways and the hotels of the cities.
只要我们在旅途劳顿后,却被公路旁汽车游客旅社和城市旅馆拒之门外,我们就决不会满意。
(只要黑人的基本活动范围只限于从狭小的黑人居住区到较大的黑人居住区,我们就决不会满意。只要我们的孩子被“仅供白人”的牌子剥夺个性,损毁尊严,我们就决不会满意。)
We cannot be satisfied as long as a Negro in Mississippi cannot vote
and a Negro in New York believes he has nothing for which to vote.
只要密西西比州的黑人不能参加选举,纽约州的黑人认为他们与选举毫不相干,我们就决不会满意。
No, no, we are not satisfied, and we will not be satisfied
until "justice rolls down like waters,
and righteousness like a mighty stream."
不,不,我们不会满意,直至“公正似水奔流,正义如泉喷涌”。
