Gettysburg Address – Abraham Lincoln Delivered on the 19th Day of November, 1983

Fourscore and seven years ago our fathers brought fourth on this continent, a new nation, conceived in Liberty, and dedicated to the proposition that all men are created equal.

Now we are engaged in a great civil war, testing whether that nation, or any nation so conceived and so dedicated, can long endure. We are met on a great battle-field of that war. We have come to dedicate a portion of that field, as a final resting place for those who here gave their lives that the nation might live. It is altogether fitting and proper that we should do this.

But, in a large sense, we can not dedicate—we can not consecrate—we can not hallow—this ground. The brave men, living and dead, who struggled here, have consecrated it, far above our poor power to add or detract. The world will little note, nor ling remember what we say here, but it can never forget what they did here.

It is for us the living, rather, to be dedicated there to the unfinished work which they who fought here have thus far so nobly advanced. It is rather for us to be here dedicated to the great task remaining before us—that from these honored dead we take increased devotion to that cause for which they gave the last full measure of devotion --- that we here highly resolve that these dead shall not have died in vain---that this nation, under God, shall have a new birth of freedom--- and that government of the people. By the people, for the people, shall not perish from the earth.

在考研英語閱讀當中有很多與美國歷史相關的東西，所以老師也一再強調希望大家在下面可以自行了解下一些簡單的歷史甚至是地理情況。不僅可以擴展知識面，還可以更好地理解文章。所以在這里就列出了林肯的這篇著名的葛底斯堡演講。在這短小有力的篇章結構中，去領會語言的魅力，其實如果認真探究，還可以找到很多考研的詞匯，用法，以及好的句子，句型積累以便日后的作文寫作。

經典語句： 排比結構的使用

But, in a large sense, we can not dedicate—we can not consecrate—we can not hallow—this ground.

It is rather for us to be here dedicated to the great task remaining before us—that from these honored dead we take increased devotion to that cause for which they gave the last full measure of devotion --- that we here highly resolve that these dead shall not have died in vain---that this nation, under God, shall have a new birth of freedom--- and that government of the people. By the people, for the people, shall not perish from the earth.

短短的一小段演講，他用到了兩個排比結構，一個是動詞的三聯動，一個是that 從句的三聯動，當我們去聆聽的時候，看到這樣的文字必定是為之震撼的。而這樣的句型我們在欣賞的同時，完全可以學習來用。在寫作中想要表達強烈的情感的時候不妨試試這種三聯動的排比結構，相信會屢試不爽，效果絕佳的!

小編在這里提醒各位童鞋要開始實踐在平日的一些瑣碎的零散的時間內學習英語，利用好一些碎片式的時間，堅持的去學英語，才能有所突破，祝大家2017考研成功!
