I'm Carl Azuz for CNN 10 and this particular Friday leads into a three-day weekend for many folks across America because January 20th is the Martin Luther King Jr. holiday. It's named for the American Baptist minister and civil rights leader who was actually born on January 15th in 1929. But for more than three decades, the federal holiday that honors his accomplishments1 has been celebrated2 on the third Monday in January.

我是CNN10分钟新闻主持人卡尔·阿祖兹,本周五过后,许多美国民众将迎来三天周末,因为1月20日是马丁·路德·金日。这一节日以美国浸礼会牧师兼民权领袖马丁·路德·金命名,实际上他出生于1929年1月15日。但30余年来,为纪念他所取得成就而设立的联邦假日一直定在1月第三个周一。

Public events, marches, speeches by civil rights leaders and politicians are all part of it. And the U.S. government recognizes Martin Luther King Jr. Day as a day of service. It's said to be a day on, not a day off. And the goal of that is to encourage Americans to volunteer in their communities to improve them.

纪念活动包括公共活动、游行、民权领袖和政治家的演讲。美国政府承认马丁·路德·金日为服务日。据称这一天是上班日,而不是放假日。该节日的目标是鼓励美国民众在社区担任志愿者,以改进社区。

Dr. King himself was the leader of the Montgomery Improvement Association, named for the city of Montgomery, Alabama, which is now known as the birthplace of the U.S. Civil Rights Movement in the 1950s. King had a reputation for being an eloquent3 speaker. He felt strongly that peaceful events like marches were the best methods of achieving civil rights for African Americans.

金博士是蒙哥马利改进协会主席,该协会以阿拉巴马州蒙哥马利市命名,这座城市现在被称为19世纪50年代美国民权运动的发源地。金以口才出众而闻名。他坚定地认为,游行等和平活动是实现非裔美国人民权的最佳方法。

King's influence was growing when he founded the Southern Christian4 Leadership Conference in 1957. And in 1963 he led the March on Washington, where he delivered his famous "I Have a Dream" speech. The next year, Dr. King was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize.

在1957年创建南方基督教领袖会议后,金的影响力不断增长。1963年,他领导了华盛顿大游行,并发表了著名演讲《我有一个梦想》。次年,金博士获得诺贝尔和平奖。

When changes within the civil rights movement and occasional discouragement challenged him in the late 1960s, King found revival5 through his Christian faith.

上世纪60年代末期,民权运动内部的改变和偶尔的挫折令金博士备受挑战,但他用基督教信仰实现了复兴。
