美国梦英文介绍

标准答案：The American Dream is a national ethos of the United States in which freedom includes the opportunity for prosperity and success, and an upward social mobility achieved through hard work. In the definition of the American Dream by James Truslow Adams in 1931, "life should be better and richer and fuller for everyone, with opportunity for each according to ability or achievement" regardless of social class or circumstances of birth. The idea of the American Dream is rooted in the United States Declaration of Independence which proclaims that "all men are created equal" and that they are "endowed by their Creator with certain inalienable Rights" including "Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness."

18世纪末、19世纪初美国西部发现多处金矿，有些幸运儿开始因掘金而一夜暴富，这波“淘金潮”的传奇，推动了移民西进的浪潮，也为“美国梦”抹上了浓厚的金黄色彩。

2、个人成功梦

到了21世纪的信息时代，苹果之父史蒂夫·乔布斯、微软的比尔·盖茨、雅虎的杨致远以及GOOGLE的三个创立者变成了“美国梦”的新偶像。他们凭借自己的智慧，年纪轻轻就积累了数百亿美元的庞大资产。他们活生生的故事似乎表明，只要有智慧，有才能，在美国就可以成功。

American Dreams, this is a phrase everyone knows, yet so many people seem not to be sure what's the meaning behind it. What is "American Dreams"? I think the answer depends on each person's own experience, his or her own life stories. Everyone of us living on this land, except Native Americans, came from somewhere else at some point, in search of freedom, liberty, happiness, or to escape prosecution. In my situation, my grandparents escaped China 60 years ago to seek freedom. They left with not a penny to their name and came to the US to start a new life. Over the years, they became American citizens and are successful in business. Just like everyone else in this country, they enjoy their personal rights and are respected by the society. They work hard and get wealthy. This, is what I call an American Dream. That anyone can be successful as long as he or she works hard, that everyone is treated equally and be respectful to each other.
