Day8

And 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.

（1）on the spot 当场的

I have a dream that one day this nation will rise up and live out the true meaning of its creed: "We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal."

（1）truths 只读一个s,可以把th省略掉

（2）created,读的好听，中间可以加半元音/j/

（3）crystal clear 十分清晰

（4）creed  信条；信念；教义

（5）nip sth in the bud：to stop something before it has an opportunity to become established 把…消灭在萌芽状态，对…防患于未然。nip有掐，灭的意思。

（6）live out这里，宾语较长，后置。

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

（1） the sons of former slaves and the sons of former slave owners 体会这里的重复的好处

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.

（1）sweltering  酷热难耐的，再次出现

（2）oasis 绿洲，令人

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!
