千名士兵牺牲于此。 这个人是美国总统亚伯
拉罕·林肯, 他来到这里悼念已逝的战士。
他的演说只有
268
个词, 时长两分钟, 但却
改变了民众的想法, 甚至帮助塑造了整个
国家。
在那时, 美国分崩离析。 两年来, 美国
人民深陷内战之中, 一方是拥护奴隶制的南
部邦联, 另一方是拥护 “自由” 的北方联
盟。 最残酷的战斗持续了三天, 就发生在
1863
年的葛底斯堡。 北方联盟取得了胜利,
但代价惨重。 五万多名士兵死伤, 人们失去
了希望和目标。 遭受这些苦难究竟是为了什
么呢?
林肯理解民众的感受。 他的演说给了民
众希望、 信念以及展望未来的理由。 他给予
了美国人民一个新的愿景, 那就是依照
87
年前开国元勋的理念, 美利坚合众国本应成
为的样子。 那也是已故的将士为之献出生命
的原因。 现在, 责任落到了生者身上, 不仅
要消除南北之间的分歧, 还要打破黑人与白
人之间的界限, 一步一步朝着实现人类平等
而努力。
87
年前, 我们的先辈在这块大陆上创
立了一个新的国家, 它孕育于自由之中, 献
身于人人生而平等的理想。
当下我们正深陷于一场大规模的内战之
中, 它考验着这个国家, 或者任何一个生于
自由、 对上述理想深信不疑的国家, 能否长
久生存下去。 现在我们聚集在这场内战的一
个重要战场上, 我们来到这里, 是为了把这
里的一部分土地献给那些为了国家存续而献
出自己生命的人, 作为他们最终的安息之
地。 我们这样做是完全应当且非常恰当的。
但是, 从更广泛意义上来说, 我们不能
献出、 不能圣化、 不能神化这块土地, 因为
在这里勇敢抗争的人们, 不论生死, 已经圣
化了这片土地, 这远不是我们渺小的力量所
能增减的。 世界不会留意, 也不会铭记我们
在这里说了什么, 但它永远不会忘记他们在
这里做的事情。 他们英勇地坚持至今, 现在
是我们这些生者献身于这未完成的事业的时
候了。 我们应该把自己奉献于在我们面前的
伟大事业——从这些光荣的逝者身上汲取更
多的信仰, 来投身于他们为之竭尽最后一丝
力量的事业——我们在这里下最大的决心,
不让逝者白白失去生命, 要让国家获得自
由的新生, 要使民有、 民治、 民享的政府
永存。

Good morning, everyone. Today I蒺m go鄄
ing to introduce a great man who devoted his
life to practising medicine for the people of
China
—
Dr. Norman Bethune. He was born in
1890, in Canada. He was a complicated person
who was both very creative and very stubborn.
He was also very hard鄄working, and wanted to
make a difference in the world. In fact, he in鄄
vented or improved numerous surgical proce鄄
dures and surgical instruments. However, it
was in China that he would break national
boundaries by becoming one of the few Wes鄄
tern doctors to help the Chinese in their
wartime struggle. His contribution to the wel鄄
fare of the Chinese people was not only un鄄
usual, but immense.
Having married a wealthy woman,
Bethune had once enjoyed a luxurious lifestyle
in Canada. However, his social conscience de鄄
veloped during the 1930s, with a visit to the
Soviet Union and time as a surgeon during the
Spanish Civil War. In January 1938, he left
Canada again, this time to help the soldiers in
China蒺s Eighth Route Army. It was no easy
journey. Travelling thousands of kilometres, he
did not reach Yan蒺an until the end of March.
By June, he was working at the front. He soon

saw that the medical situation for the troops
and local people was bad. There were not
enough medicines or surgical instruments, and
the medical staff were not well trained.
Bethune worked hard to help the wounded and
train his staff, even inventing medical equip鄄
ment that was suitable for guerilla warfare in
China. The pace at which Bethune worked can
be seen in a battle during April 1939, when he
performed 115 operations in only 69 hours.
The Chinese, though they sometimes found
Bethune difficult because of his stubbornness,
admired him greatly because of his ceaseless
hard work and his dedication to helping the
Chinese people. But tragedy struck when
Bethune cut himself while conducting an ope鄄
ration. He soon contracted blood poisoning
and died on 12 November 1939.
Dr. Norman Bethune had worked tireless鄄
ly as a surgeon, teacher and hospital adminis鄄
trator for the Chinese people. Their struggle
became his own. Although he was not Chi鄄
nese, he sacrificed his life for them. In De鄄
cember 1939, Chairman Mao Zedong wrote an
article
“
In Memory of Norman Bethune
”
, as a
tribute to Bethune, and called on the Chinese
people to learn from his example. Dr. Norman
Bethune remains the greatest inspiration for
anyone who believes that we must fight
alongside others for justice
