Narrative of the Life of Frederick Douglass, an American Slave — Page 6
作为一位公众演说家，他在情感渲染、机智幽默、比喻类比、模仿表达、逻辑推理以及语言流畅方面均有出色表现。
As a public speaker, he excels in pathos, wit, comparison, imitation, strength of reasoning, and fluency of language.
他身上具备那种头脑与心灵相融合的品质，而这正是启迪他人心智、赢得他人心灵所不可或缺的。
There is in him that union of head and heart, which is indispensable to an enlightenment of the heads and a winning of the hearts of others.
愿他的力量始终与他所肩负的时代使命相称！
May his strength continue to be equal to his day!
愿他继续"在恩典中成长，在对上帝的认识中增进"，使他在为受苦人类服务的事业中，无论国内还是海外，都能发挥日益重要的作用！
May he continue to "grow in grace, and in the knowledge of God," that he may be increasingly serviceable in the cause of bleeding humanity, whether at home or abroad!
有一个事实确实十分值得关注：当今在公众面前，为奴隶群体发声的最有力倡导者之一，竟是一位逃脱奴役的人，他就是弗雷德里克·道格拉斯；而美国自由有色人种，同样由他们自己当中的一位杰出代表查尔斯·莱诺克斯·雷蒙德出色地代言，其雄辩的陈述在大西洋两岸赢得了无数人的最高喝彩。
It is certainly a very remarkable fact, that one of the most efficient advocates of the slave population, now before the public, is a fugitive slave, in the person of Frederick Douglass; and that the free colored population of the United States are as ably represented by one of their own number, in the person of Charles Lenox Remond, whose eloquent appeals have extorted the highest applause of multitudes on both sides of the Atlantic.
那些诽谤有色人种的人，应当为自己的卑劣与心胸狭隘而感到羞耻，从此不再谈论那些只需时间与机会便能达到人类卓越最高境界的人群所谓的天生劣等性。
Let the calumniators of the colored race despise themselves for their baseness and illiberality of spirit, and henceforth cease to talk of the natural inferiority of those who require nothing but time and opportunity to attain to the highest point of human excellence.
或许我们可以合理地追问：地球上其他任何群体的人，是否能够在忍受奴役所带来的匮乏、苦难与恐惧的同时，而不在人类文明的等级上沦落得比非洲裔奴隶更为低下？
It may, perhaps, be fairly questioned, whether any other portion of the population of the earth could have endured the privations, sufferings and horrors of slavery, without having become more degraded in the scale of humanity than the slaves of African descent.
