1
Never have I witnessed such sincere hospitality
2
and overwhelming spirit of true brotherhood as it is practiced by the people of all colors
3
and races here in the ancient Holy Land, the home of Abraham, Muhammad, and all the other prophets of the Holy Scriptures.
4
For the past week I have been utterly speechless
5
and spellbound by the graciousness I see displayed all around me by people of all colors.
6
I have been blessed to visit the holy city of Mecca.
7
I have made my seven circuits around the Kaaba, led by a young Mutawwaf named Muhammad.
8
I drank water from the well of Zamzam.
9
I ran seven times back and forth between the hills of Manasafa and Marwa.
10
I have prayed in the ancient city of Mina, and I have prayed on Man 'arafa.
11
There were tens of thousands of pilgrims from all over the world.
12
They were of all colors, from blue -eyed blondes to black -skinned Africans.
13
But we were all participating in the same ritual, displaying a spirit of unity and brotherhood
14
that my experiences in America had led me to believe never could exist between the white and the non -white.
15
America needs to understand Islam, because this is the one religion that erases from its society the race problem.
16
Throughout my travels in the Muslim world, I have met, talked to, and even eaten with people who in America would have been considered white
17
but the white attitude was removed from their minds by the religion of Islam.
18
I have never before seen sincere and true brotherhood practiced by all colors together, irrespective of their color.
19
You may be shocked by these words coming from me, but on this pilgrimage what I have seen and experienced has forced me to rearrange much of my thought patterns previously held,
20
and to toss aside some of my previous conclusions.
21
This was not too difficult for me, Despite my firm convictions, I have always been a man who tries to face facts
22
and to accept the reality of life as new experience and new knowledge unfolds it.
23
I have always kept an open mind, which is necessary to the flexibility that must go hand in hand with every form of intelligent search for truth.
24
During the past 11 days here in the Muslim world, I have eaten from the same plate, drunk from the same glass and slept on the same bed
25
or on the same rug while praying to the same God with fellow Muslims whose eyes were the bluest of blue,
26
whose hair was the blondest of blond and whose skin was the whitest of white.
27
And in the words and in the actions and in the deeds of the white Muslims, I felt the same sincerity that I felt among the black African Muslims of Nigeria, Sudan, and Ghana.
28
We were truly all the same brothers because their belief in one God had removed the white from their minds, the white from their behavior and the white from their attitude.
29
I could see from this that perhaps if white Americans could accept the oneness of God, then perhaps too they could accept in reality the oneness of man,
30
and cease to measure and hinder and harm others in terms of their differences in color.
31
With racism plaguing America like an incurable cancer,
32
the so -called Christian white American heart should be more receptive to a proven solution to such a destructive problem.
33
Perhaps it could be in time to save America from imminent disaster, the same destruction brought upon Germany by racism that eventually destroyed the Germans themselves.
34
Each hour here in the Holy Land enables me to have
35
greater spiritual insight into what is happening in America between black and white.
36
The American Negro can never be blamed for his racial animosities.
37
He's only reacting to 400 years of the conscious racism of the American whites.
38
But as As racism leads America up the suicide path, I do believe, from the experiences that I've had with them, that the whites of the younger generation in the colleges
39
and universities will see the handwriting on the walls and many of them will turn to the spiritual path of truth,
40
the only way left to America to ward off the disasters that racism inevitably must lead to.
41
Never have I been so highly honored.
42
Never have I been made to feel more humble
43
and unworthy who would believe the blessings that have been heaped upon an American Negro.
44
A few nights ago, a man who would be called in America a white man, a United Nations diplomat, an ambassador,
45
a companion of kings, gave me his hotel suite, his bed.
46
Never would I have even thought of dreaming that I would ever be the recipient of such honors,
47
honors that in America would have been bestowed upon a king, not a Negro.
48
All praises due to Allah, the Lord of the world.
49
Sincerely, Al -Hajj Malik Al -Shabazz

什么是跟读法?
跟读法 (Shadowing) 是一种有科学依据的语言学习技巧,最初开发用于专业口译员的培训,并由多语言者Alexander Arguelles博士普及。这个方法简单而强大:您在听英语母语原声的同时立即大声重复——就像是一个延迟1-2秒紧跟说话者的影子。与被动听力或语法练习不同,跟读法强迫您的大脑和口腔肌肉同时处理并模仿真实的讲话模式。研究表明它能显着提高发音准确性,语调,节奏,连读,听力理解和口语流利度——使其成为雅思口语备考和真实英语交流最有效的方法之一。
