In the future day， which we seek to make secure， we look forward to a world founded upon four essential human *******.
The first is ******* of speech and expression-everywhere in the world.
The second is ******* of every person to worship God in his own way-everywhere in the world.
The third is ******* from want—which， translated into world term， means economic understandings which will secure to everywhere in the world.
The fourth is ******* from fear—which， translated into world terms， means a world-wide reduction of armaments to such a point and in such a through fashion that no nation will be in a position to commit an act of physical aggression against any neighbor—anywhere in the world.
That is no vision of a distant millennium. It is a definite basis for a kind of world attainable in our own time and generation.AThat kind of world is the very antithesis of the so-called new order of tyranny which the dictators seek to create with the crash of a bomb.
To that new order we oppose the greater conception—the moral order. A good society is able to face schemes of world domination and foreign revolutions alike without fear.
BSince the beginning of our American history we have been engaged in change—in a perpetual revolution—a revolution which goes on steadily， quietly adjusting itself to changing conditions—without the concentration camp or the quicklime in the ditch. The world order which we seek is the cooperation of free countries， working together in a friendly civilized society.
This nation has placed its destiny in the hands and heads and hearts of its millions of free men and women；and its faith in ******* under the guidance of God. Freedom means the supremacy of human rights everywhere.Our support goes to those who struggle to gain those rights and keep them.Our strength is in our unity of purpose.
CTo that high concept there can be no end save victory.

AThat kind of world is the very antithesis of the so-called new order of tyranny which the dictators seek to create with the crash of a bomb.
这样的世界与那些独裁者企图用炸弹创造的所谓新秩序****截然对立。
very用作形容词，“真正的，实在的”，起强调作用。
BSince the beginning of our American history we have been engaged in change—in a perpetual revolution—a revolution which goes on steadily， quietly adjusting itself to changing conditions—without the concentration camp or the quicklime in the ditch.
自美国有史以来，我们就一直致力于变革——致力于长期不断的革命。这场革命持续稳定地进行着，并悄无声息地调整其自身以适应不断变化的形势。这场革命没有集中营也没有万人坑。
be engaged in“参加，从事”例如：He has been engaged in politics for 20 years.他从政20年。句中the concentration camp指集中营，the quicklime in the ditch指万人坑。
CTo that high concept there can be no end save victory.为了实现这一崇高的信念，我们不获全胜，绝不罢休。
save 在此句中译为“除了”。例如：We know nothing about her save that her surname is Jones.我们除了知道她姓琼斯外，对她完全不了解。
