I have a dream

①

I am happy to join with you today in what will go down in history as the greatest demonstration for freedom in the history of our nation.

happy：1、单词本身可以替换为elated、delighted、glad、joyful、thrilled；但是不能替换为joy，因为joy是名词。2、演讲的时候的时候用口语化的词让人觉得平易自然、有亲和力。3、不是用复杂的词才是好的表达。
join with: to get together with another company, person, or group in order to do something together.
go down in history: take your place in history, be remembered or recorded in history.

②

Five score years ago：score：100年
symbolic shadow we stand today：1、让人联想到葛底斯堡演讲；2、头韵，音律美。3、"Symbolic shadow" is a metaphor meaning that "our" lives have been greatly affected by the beliefs and deeds - particularly the signing of the Emancipation Proclamation - of that great American
