2.A Poem Inscribed on the Statue of LibertyThe New Colossusby Emma Lazarus
Not like the brazen giant of Greek fame,With conquering limbs astride from land to land;Here at our sea-washed, sunset gates shall standA mighty woman with a torch, whose flameIs the imprisoned lightning, and her nameMother of Exiles. From her beacon-handGlows world-wide welcome; her mild eyes commandThe air-bridged harbor that twin cities frame."Keep ancient lands, your storied pomp!" cries sheWith silent lips. "Give me your tired, your poor,Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free,The wretched refuse of your teeming shore.Send these, the homeless, tempest-tost to me,I lift my lamp beside the golden door!"NHCE-BIII-Unit 4新的巨人（New Colossus）
不像那无耻的古希腊的青铜巨人，叉腿横跨征服的陆地；在这海水冲洗的日落重门，将矗立起一位手持火炬的伟大女性，火焰是被囚禁着的闪电，流放者们的母亲就是她的姓名。手中欢迎全世界光临的灯塔闪亮着，她温情俯瞰以天为桥的港口与环绕它的双城；
“旧世界，给你传说中的虚荣！”
她抿嘴呼喊。
“送给我，你受穷受累的人们，你那拥挤着渴望呼吸自由的大众，所有遗弃在你海滩上的悲惨众生，给我，这些风浪中颠簸的无家之人，
我在金时代的门口高举我的明灯！”NHCE-BIII-Unit 4
