trek from the dark dungeons of Egypt through, or rather across the Red Sea, through the wilderness on toward the promised land. And in spite of its magnificence, I wouldn’t stop there. I would move on by Greece, and take my mind to Mount Olympus. And I would see Plato, Aristotle, Socrates, Euripides and Aristophanes assembled around the Parthenon. And I would watch them around the Parthenon as they discussed the great and eternal issues of reality. But I wouldn’t stop there.I would go on, even to the great heyday of the Roman Empire. And I would see developments around there, through various emperors and leaders. But I wouldn’t stop there. I would even come up to the day of the Renaissance, and get a quick picture of all that the Renaissance did for the cultural and aesthetic life of man. But I wouldn’t stop there. I would even go by the way that the man for whom I’m named had his habitat. And I would watch Martin Luther as he tacked his ninety-five theses on the door at the church in Wittenberg.
但我还不愿停住。我还要继续穿行到1863年,看看那个犹豫不决的、名字叫做亚伯拉罕?林肯、最终作出决定必须签署《解放宣言》的总统。但我还不能停住。我还要去30年代早期看看,看看那个正努力解决他的国家的银行破产问题的人,最终信心满满地呼喊道:“除了恐惧本身,我们没有什么好恐惧的。”但我还不愿就此留在这里。莫名其妙地,我会对主说:“如果您允许我在20世纪的后半段再活几年的话,我就很满足了。”
But I wouldn’t stop there.I would come on up even to 1863, and watch a vacillating President by the name of Abraham Lincoln finally come to the conclusion that he had to sign the Emancipation Proclamation. But I wouldn’t stop there.I would even come up to the early thirties, and see a man grappling with the problems of the bankruptcy of his nation. And come with an eloquent cry that we have nothing to fear but “fear itself ”. But I wouldn’t stop there.Strangely enough, I would turn to the Almighty, and say, “If you allow me to live just a few years in the second half of the 20th century, I will be happy.”
