American Dream，美国梦

意思 ：每个人都可以实现自己的梦想,追求更好,更富裕的生活.The term was first used by James Truslow Adams in his book The Epic of America which was written in 1931.He states:"The American Dream is "that dream of a land in which life should be better and richer and fuller for everyone,with opportunity for each according to ability or achievement.It is a difficult dream for the European upper classes to interpret adequately,and too many of us ourselves have grown weary and mistrustful of it.It is not a dream of motor cars and high wages merely,but a dream of social order in which each man and each woman shall be able to attain to the fullest stature of which they are innately capable,and be recognized by others for what they are,regardless of the fortuitous circumstances of birth or position." (p.214-215)In the United States’ Declaration of Independence,our founding fathers:"…held certain truths to be self-evident,that all Men are created equal,that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights,that among these are life,Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness." Might this sentiment be considered the foundation of the American Dream?Were homesteaders who left the big cities of the east to find happiness and their piece of land in the unknown wilderness pursuing these inalienable Rights?Were the immigrants who came to the United States looking for their bit of life,liberty and the pursuit of happiness,their Dream?And what did the desire of the veteran of World War II - to settle down,to have a home,a car and a family - tell us about this evolving Dream?Is the American Dream attainable by all Americans?Would Martin Luther King feel his Dream was attained?Did Malcolm X realize his Dream?Some say,that the American Dream has become the pursuit of material prosperity - that people work more hours to get bigger cars,fancier homes,the fruits of prosperity for their families - but have less time to enjoy their prosperity.Others say that the American Dream is beyond the grasp of the working poor who must work two jobs to insure their family’s survival.Yet others look toward a new American Dream with less focus on financial gain and more emphasis on living a simple,fulfilling life.Thomas Wolfe said,"…to every man,regardless of his birth,his shining,golden opportunity ….the right to live,to work,to be himself,and to become whatever thing his manhood and his vision can combine to make him."

2、狭义上

指一种相信只要在美国经过努力不懈的奋斗便能获得更好生活的理想，亦即人们必须通过自己的勤奋工作、勇气、创意、和决心迈向繁荣，而非依赖于特定的社会阶级和他人的援助。通常这代表了人们在经济上的成功或是企业家的精神，许多欧洲移民都是抱持着美国梦的理想前往美国的。

1、原始淘金梦

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。

33、投资移民梦

投资移民到美国是很多人实现美国梦的又一途径，据统计我国每年有上万人通过投资移民到美国，美国投资移民仅50万美金，无任何其它条件就可移民到美国，是要求最低条件最宽松的一种投资实现美国梦的方式。

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."
