In commemorating the 230th anniversary of America’s independence last July, President George W. Bush noted that the patriots of the Revolutionary War believed that all men are created equal, and with inalienable rights. Because of these ideals, he proclaimed, the United States “remains a beacon of hope for all who dream of liberty and a shining example to the world of what a free people can achieve.”
在去年7月庆祝美国独立230周年时，布什总统强调“美国革命战争”的爱国者们坚信人生来平等，拥有不可剥夺的权利。他宣称，因为这些理想，美国“仍然是所有梦想自由的人们的希望灯塔，也为全世界树立了一个自由民族能够实现的成就的楷模。”
