But we refuse to believe that the bank of justice is bankrupt. We refuse to believe that there are insufficient funds in the great vaults of opportunity of this nation.
语言点
1.bankrupt：此处又是形象的比喻，用破产这个金融用词来比喻信用破产、道德破产等，引申为不可信的意思。例句：The society is morally bankrupt.
前文一些精彩的比喻：cripple prevail architect
2.in the great vaults of opportunity：我们不能接受国家的失信，拒绝为黑人成为“国家金库”中的“坏账”这种说法来买账。这里的vault指银行钱库，表达得很应景。
说到比喻，本期《经济学人》讲到中国汽车市场低迷：A brake in demand for cars in China.用刹车来表达汽车市场的低迷实在很妙。
And so, we've come to cash this check, a check that will give us upon demand the riches of freedom and the security of justice.
3.讲到这句话的优美之处，Eric提到如果写一个人太厉害了无法被超越，可以说：He's a hard act to follow.
4.the riches of freedom and the security of justice：用财富riches和证券security来类比自由与公正。与前面check的比喻一致。
We have also come to this hallowed spot to remind America of the fierce urgency of Now. This is no time to engage in the luxury of cooling off or to take the tranquilizing drug of gradualism.
5.hallowed：神圣的，同义词为sacred，也就是替换上文中的sacred。英语中之所以代词很常见，是由于其简洁性，写作时也要避免重复，注意变化。
6.remind要跟of一起记，提醒某人做某事。
7.this is no time比this is not any time更坚决，此处又可见简洁表达的力量。
比如I'm no singer 比 I'm not a singer更坚决，有强调的作用。
8.in the luxury of cooling off or to take the tranquilizing drug of gradualism：这已经不是求得冷静和按部就班的时候了。
Now is the time to make real the promises of democracy. Now is the time to rise from the dark and desolate valley of segregation to the sunlit path of racial justice.
9.make real：玩真的
一般会说make sth real，但一般如果宾语很长就会放到后面。
10.dark and desolate 押头韵，押韵不要太刻意，而且不能满篇押韵；
11.valley和sunlit path呼应：深谷-阳光大道。
Now is the time to lift our nation from the quicksands of racial injustice to the solid rock of brotherhood. Now is the time to make justice a reality for all of God's children.
12.lift our nation from the quick sands：lift这个动词与quick sands流沙的搭配太妙，有“拎出来”的画面感。
13.solid rock：与流沙成为鲜明的对比。其中solid有很多用法，可以用于表明靠谱或者非常确定；rock可用在说明可依靠的人，比如：My father is my rock.
14.make justice a reality与前面make real相呼应。
语音点：
1.句子里的每个单词的重读与弱读应根据强调程度而区分，像have这样的词如果不做强调基本都要弱读。
2.the在强调的时候也会读成/ðiː/，即使后面的单词不是以元音开头。
3.尾音要轻，比如说refuse、take等。
4.不要求快，要把单词每个音节念清楚：opportunity。
5.children的辅音/tʃ/避免念成秋。
