希尼爾翻譯公司（www.myfavoritepainters.net）2016年5月19日了解到：The "Dream" speech inspired the whole nation and helped galvanize the Civil Rights Movement.

這份有關(guān)“夢(mèng)想”的演說(shuō)曾讓這個(gè)國(guó)家激動(dòng)不已，后來(lái)還直接導(dǎo)致了美國(guó)的民權(quán)運(yùn)動(dòng)。

More than five decades later however, U.S. society is still seriously plagued by racial disparity and discrimination, which persists in almost every social aspect, including employment, housing, education, and particularly, justice.

而時(shí)至今日，五十多年過(guò)后，美國(guó)社會(huì)仍然被種族差異和種族歧視嚴(yán)重困擾。美國(guó)社會(huì)的每個(gè)方面幾乎都存在著種族問(wèn)題，例如就業(yè)、住房和教育，尤其在司法方面（存在很嚴(yán)重的種族歧視）。

A 2015 CBS News/New York Times poll found that majorities of both whites and blacks viewed race relations negatively and 61 percent of Americans said race relations in the United States were bad, the highest percentage since 1992.

2015年，由CBS新聞和紐約時(shí)報(bào)聯(lián)合開(kāi)展的民調(diào)顯示，大多數(shù)白人和黑人都對(duì)目前的種族關(guān)系持負(fù)面看法，61%的美國(guó)人說(shuō)美國(guó)目前的種族關(guān)系很糟糕，持這一意見(jiàn)的人群比例達(dá)到了1992年以來(lái)的新高。

Meanwhile, law enforcement and the justice field were heavily affected by racial discrimination, with 88 percent of African-Americans believing they were treated unfairly by police, and 68 percent of African-Americans believing the U.S. criminal justice system was racially biased.

與此同時(shí)，執(zhí)法和司法領(lǐng)域也被種族歧視嚴(yán)重影響，有88%的非裔美國(guó)人認(rèn)為自己曾遭到警方的不公正待遇，而且68%的非裔美國(guó)人認(rèn)為美國(guó)的刑事司法制度存在種族偏見(jiàn)。

Whites had 12 times the wealth of blacks and nearly 10 times more than Hispanics. It was said that the American Dream remained out of reach for many African-American and Hispanic families. Many believe that race relations in the country are at their worst in nearly two decades.

在美國(guó)，白人持有的財(cái)富相當(dāng)于黑人的12倍，幾乎比西裔多出10倍。有人說(shuō)，美國(guó)夢(mèng)對(duì)許多非裔美國(guó)人和西裔美國(guó)人家庭來(lái)說(shuō)，都是一件遙不可及的事。許多人認(rèn)為，美國(guó)目前的種族關(guān)系是是近二十年來(lái)最糟糕的。

In August 2014, Michael Brown, an 18-year-old black man, was shot and killed by Darren Wilson, a white officer, in Ferguson County in the U.S. state of Missouri, after he robbed a convenience store.

2014年8月，美國(guó)密蘇里州佛格森縣，一名18歲的黑人男子米迦勒被一名白人警察戴侖射殺，起因是米迦勒搶劫了一家便利店。

The case demonstrates how Americans on the lower rungs of society were held back in the pursuit of their American Dream, and explains why many media and observers have sometimes said the American Dream has been lost.

這起案件展示了美國(guó)社會(huì)底層人民在追求美國(guó)夢(mèng)時(shí)會(huì)遇到的障礙，也解釋了為什么許多媒體和觀察家們有時(shí)會(huì)說(shuō)美國(guó)夢(mèng)已經(jīng)不存在了。

The Ferguson case is another "post-financial crisis" mass protest following the Occupy Wall Street movement, which started in New York in mid-September 2011 and has spread to dozens of U.S. cities.

在“后金融危機(jī)”時(shí)代，佛格森案是繼占領(lǐng)華爾街后美國(guó)發(fā)生的又一起大規(guī)?？棺h活動(dòng)。2011年9月中旬，紐約爆發(fā)了“占領(lǐng)華爾街”運(yùn)動(dòng)，后來(lái)蔓延到美國(guó)數(shù)十個(gè)城市。

Observers said both the Ferguson riots and the Occupy Wall Street movement revealed the anger of Americans over the social injustice in the country as well as their disappointment with the American Dream.

觀察人士表示說(shuō)，佛格森騷亂和占領(lǐng)華爾街運(yùn)動(dòng)都顯示了美國(guó)人民的憤怒，人們對(duì)這個(gè)國(guó)家的社會(huì)不公正感到憤慨，對(duì)美國(guó)夢(mèng)感到失望。

According to a new study by academics, wealth inequality in the United States is at near-record levels. Over the past three decades, the share of household wealth owned by the top 0.1 percent has increased from 7 percent to 22 percent.

據(jù)學(xué)術(shù)界的一份研究顯示，目前美國(guó)的貧富差距快要達(dá)到歷史最高水平了。在過(guò)去的三十年里，美國(guó)前0.1%家庭所擁有財(cái)產(chǎn)占全國(guó)財(cái)富的比例從7%上升到了22%。來(lái)源:Global Times
