我特别喜欢林肯这篇10句话的Getty*****urg Adress，是如此的powerful and elegant. 可是以前没有认真地学习过。谢谢您的建议，从今天起，就开始练习背诵这篇演讲稿。

经您的提醒，我把演讲稿里的here都highlight了，我理解的here在演讲稿里多次出现，是为了特别强调“地点”--getty*****urg battlefield. 而您的理解是“主要為了調節演講時輕重音的節奏”，我不明白，作者为什么要用here一词来调节演讲时的轻重的节奏呢? 特向您请教，谢谢。

*****************

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.

Now we are engaged in a great civil war, testing whether that nation, or
any nation so conceived and so dedicated, can long endure. We are met on
a great battle-field of that war. We have come to dedicate a portion of
that field, as a final resting place for those who here gave their lives
that that nation might live. It is altogether fitting and proper that we
should do this.

But, in a larger sense, we can not dedicate -- we can not consecrate --
we can not hallow -- this ground. The brave men, living and dead, who struggled
here, have consecrated it, far above our poor power to add or detract. The
world will little note, nor long remember what we say here, but it can never
forget what they did here. It is for us the living, rather, to be dedicated
here to the unfinished work which they who fought here have thus far so nobly
advanced. It is rather for us to be here dedicated to the great task remaining
before us -- that from these honored dead we take increased devotion to
that cause for which they gave the last full measure of devotion -- that
we here highly resolve that these dead shall not have died in vain -- that
this nation, under God, shall have a new birth of freedom -- and that government
of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the
earth.
