馬丁‧路德‧金恩牧師，在1963年8月27日於華盛頓發表的演講「I Have a Dream」

I am happy to join with you today in what will go down in history as the greatest demonstration for freedom in the history of our nation.

Five score years ago, a great American, in whose symbolic shadow we stand today, signed the Emancipation Proclamation. This momentous decree came as a great beacon light of hope to millions of Negro slaves who had been seared in the flames of withering injustice. It came as the joyous daybreak to end the long night of their captivity.

But, one hundred years later, the Negro still is not free. One hundred years later, the life of the Negro is still sadly crippled by the manacles of segregation and the chains of discrimination. One hundred years later, the Negro lives on a lonely island of poverty in the midst of a vast ocean of material prosperity. One hundred years later, the Negro is still languished in the corners of American society, and finds himself an exile in his own land.

        今天我很高興與大家共同參加這次將會在我國歷史上名垂千古，為追求自由而舉行的最大一次示威運動。

在一百年以前，有位偉大的美國人簽署了奴隸解放宣言，而今天我們正是立足於他所象徵的影像下。這項重大的宣告對數百萬在苛酷的不公平烈焰下驚懼的黑人而言，不啻是一線偉大的希望之光。它的來臨就像愉悅的曙光結束了他們受到束縛的漫長黑夜。

但是一百年後，黑人依然沒有自由；一百年後，黑人的生活依然由於種族隔離的手銬與歧視的腳鏈而悲慘地失去行動自由；一百年後，黑人生活在物質繁榮之大海中的一個貧窮孤島；一百年後，黑人依然在美國社會的一隅飽受折磨，而發現是自己士地上的被放逐者。

I say to you today, my friends 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, live out the true meaning of its creed: “We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all man are created equal.”

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

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, one day right down in Alabama our 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.

   今天我告訴你們，我的朋友！雖然我們面臨今天與明天的困難，但我仍有一個夢想。這是深植於美國之夢的一個夢想。我夢想著有一天這個國家將會站立，過著教義上所說：「我們秉持顯而易見的真理，那就是人類生而平等。」的真理生活。

我夢想著有一天在喬治亞的紅山崗上，以前奴款之子與以前奴款主人之子，能夠一起坐在兄弟之桌上。我夢想著有一天甚至是田納西州，一個由於不公平熱焰而酷熱、由於壓迫的熱焰而酷熱的州，也能轉變為自由與公正的綠洲。

我夢想著有一天，我的四個子女能夠生活在一個國度裡，在這個國度裡，他們受評斷的依據不是膚色，而是人格的內涵。今天我有一個夢想。

我夢想著在阿拉巴馬州，在充滿惡毒種族主義者、在其州長口口聲聲反對聯邦政府干預地方政府以及反對施行聯邦法的這一州，有一天我們的黑人小男孩與黑人小女孩，能夠如同兄弟姊妹般地牽著白人小男孩與白人小女孩的手。今天我有一個夢想

Useful language for overviews

"My presentation is in three parts."
"My presentation is divided into three main sections."
"Firstly, secondly, thirdly, finally…"
"I'm going to…
take a look at…
talk about…
examine…
tell you something about the background…
give you some facts and figures…
fill you in on the history of…
concentrate on…
limit myself to the question of…

"Please feel free to interrupt me if you have questions."
"There will be time for questions at the end of the presentation."
"I'd be grateful if you could ask your questions after the presentation."

The main body of the presentation

During your presentation, it’s a good idea to remind your audience occasionally of the benefit of what you are saying.

"As I said at the beginning…"
"This, of course, will help you (to achieve the 20% increase)."
"As you remember, we are concerned with…"
"This ties in with my original statement…"
"This relates directly to the question I put to you before…"

Keeping your audience with you

Remember that what you are saying is new to your audience. You are clear about the structure of your talk, but let your audience know when you are moving on to a new point. You can do this by saying something like "right", or "OK". You can also use some of the following expressions:

"I'd now like to move on to…"
"I'd like to turn to…"
"That's all I have to say about…"
"Now I'd like to look at…"
"This leads me to my next point…"

If you are using index cards, putting the link on the cards will help you remember to keep the audience with you. In addition, by glancing at your index cards you will be pausing – this will also help your audience to realise that you are moving on to something new.

Language for using visuals

It's important to introduce your visual to the audience. You can use the following phrases:

"This graph shows you…"
"Take a look at this…"
"If you look at this, you will see…"
"I'd like you to look at this…"
"This chart illustrates the figures…"
"This graph gives you a break down of…"

Give your audience enough time to absorb the information on the visual. Pause to allow them to look at the information and then explain why the visual is important:

"As you can see…"
"This clearly shows …"
"From this, we can understand how / why…"
"This area of the chart is interesting…"

Summarising

At the end of your presentation, you should summarise your talk and remind the audience of what you have told them:

"That brings me to the end of my presentation. I've talked about…"
"Well, that's about it for now. We've covered…"
"So, that was our marketing strategy. In brief, we…"
"To summarise, I…"

Relate the end of your presentation to your opening statement:

"So I hope that you're a little clearer on how we can achieve sales growth of 20%."
"To return to the original question, we can achieve…"
"So just to round the talk off, I want to go back to the beginning when I asked you…"
"I hope that my presentation today will help you with what I said at the beginning…"
