1. "The Road Not Taken" by Robert Frost
Two roads diverged in a wood, and I—
I took the one less traveled by,
And that has made all the difference.

（两条路在森林里分叉，而我——
我选择了少有人走的那一条，
这让我与众不同。）

2. "I Have a Dream" by Martin Luther King Jr.
I have a dream that one day this nation will rise up and live out the true meaning of its creed: "We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal."

（我有一个梦想，有一天这个国家将崛起并实现其信条的真正含义：“我们认为这些真理是不言自明的，即所有人都是平等的。”）

3. "The Gettysburg Address" by Abraham Lincoln
Four score and seven years ago our fathers brought forth on this continent a new nation, conceived in Liberty, and dedicated to the proposition that all men are created equal.

（七十七年前，我们的祖先在这个大陆上创立了一个新国家，它的构想是自由的，致力于所有人平等的主张。）

4. "The Raven" by Edgar Allan Poe
Once upon a midnight dreary, while I pondered, weak and weary,
Over many a quaint and curious volume of forgotten lore—
While I nodded, nearly napping, suddenly there came a tapping,
As of some one gently rapping, rapping at my chamber door.

（在一个阴暗的午夜，当我沉思疲惫时，
翻阅着许多奇怪而神秘的被遗忘的传说——
当我几乎打瞌睡时，突然传来了轻轻敲门的声音，
好像有人轻轻地敲打着我的房门。）

5. "The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock" by T.S. Eliot
Let us go then, you and I,
When the evening is spread out against the sky
Like a patient etherized upon a table;
Let us go, through certain half-deserted streets,
The muttering retreats
Of restless nights in one-night cheap hotels
And sawdust restaurants with oyster-shells:
Streets that follow like a tedious argument
Of insidious intent
To lead you to an overwhelming question...

（让我们一起去吧，你和我，
当晚霞在天空中慢慢展开
就像一位麻醉的病人躺在手术台上；
让我们走过那些半荒废的街道，
那些充满嘈杂的夜晚，
在一晚的廉价旅馆和带有牡蛎壳的餐馆里
我们走过那些像无聊的争吵一样的街道，
那些阴险的意图，
试图引导你进入一个压倒性的问题......）

6. "The Road to Serfdom" by F.A. Hayek
We must face the fact that the preservation of individual freedom is incompatible with a full satisfaction of our views of distributive justice.

（我们必须面对这样一个事实：保护个人自由与满足我们对分配正义的观点是不相容的。）

7. "The Great Gatsby" by F. Scott Fitzgerald
I hope she'll be a fool—that's the best thing a girl can be in this world, a beautiful little fool.

（我希望她是个傻瓜——在这个世界上，女孩最好是个美丽的小傻瓜。）

8. "The Catcher in the Rye" by J.D. Salinger
Don't ever tell anybody anything. If you do, you start missing everybody.

（永远不要告诉任何人任何事情。如果你这样做了，你就会开始想念每一个人。）

9. "To Kill a Mockingbird" by Harper Lee
You never really understand a person until you consider things from his point of view... Until you climb inside of his skin and walk around in it.

（除非你从他的角度考虑问题，否则你永远不会真正理解一个人......除非你爬进他的皮肤里，在里面走动。）

10. "The Old Man and the Sea" by Ernest Hemingway
But man is not made for defeat," he said. "A man can be destroyed but not defeated.

（但人不是为失败而生的，”他说。“一个人可以被摧毁，但不能被打败。）
