美国梦英文怎么译?它何时由谁提出?对美国的影响?
The American Dream is an idea for liberty and better life,supposed to apply for everybody.The level of American Dream one can reached is dependent ‘upon one’s ability or achievement’.In short,if you want to attain your American Dream,there will be nothing to stop you from reaching it except yourself.This is first coined by a historian James Truslow Adams in his 1931 book ‘The Epic of America’.The foundation of this ’Dream’ can be found in the Declaration of Independence’ written in 1776:We hold these truths to be self-evident,that all men are created equal,that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights,that among these are Life,Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.
Such new vision of freedom to pursuit one’s dreams and possible success attracted many people from all over the world.It is especially powerful to Third World citizens.There were,indeed,many examples of individuals,rather than governments took center-stage in devising policies,making socio--legal changes,started developmental initiatives or made economic gains.There is no single definition of American Dream to fit everyone’s perception.A good number of US citizens equate achieving their dream by quantifying and qualifying their materialistic inventory or amount of money in banks.American dream revolves around one’s dream car,dream house,dream address,dream job,dream pay,dream spouse,dream family etc,etc.
In order to fully appropriate the full spectrum of American Dream,it is necessary to look at its darker side like slavery,racism,the PATRIOT Act passed by US congress in 2011 and the explosive news about US wiretapping everybody on this planet.These events certainly erode the phrase ‘all men are created equal … (have) rights (to) life,liberty and happiness’.
Lastly,let us take a look of chance of achieving American Dream if you are in US.Over the years,this chance has shrunk for non-white,poor socio-economic young men and women.It is more and more difficult for young people to own their own homes,get decent paying jobs with fair job security future etc.It is also difficult for young people able to afford post-secondary education if they are from a poor family.There are many more examples.All in all,present generation faced less chance when comparing to last generation.In general,you have a better chance achieving your ‘American Dream’ outside of US.You will be better off trying to make it in Finland,Norway,Canada,and China.It is also important to know another statistic:if your parent is poor,there is a 43% chance so will you.
If such term,American Dream,is such a delusional illusion,why so many people are still talking about it?It is because all governments on this Earth use terms of hope regardless if it’s only true to some but not the majority.The rich and powerful also need this term to keep us all in line to be productive.
