    七幕人生

    世界是一个大舞台,我们都是演员,亦是过客;

    有上场必然有退场。

    人的一生从开始到结束,要经历7个阶段,最初是婴孩,

    在襁褓中啼哭呕吐。

    天真烂漫的小学生,背着书包,因为厌学,脚步沉重,泪眼婆娑。

    然后开始恋爱,多愁善感,故作浪漫地吟唱着恋人眉间的诗歌。

    等当了兵,嘴里说着自己不懂的誓,开始续须故作邋遢,为了荣誉争强好胜。

    然后是法官,大腹便便,眼光凛然,胡须整洁,引经据典却陈词滥调;

    入戏太深,竟忘了自己本是个演员。到了第六个阶段,老态龙钟、瘦骨嶙峋、行动迟缓、老花镜和钱袋雕刻出你的时光,

    纤瘦的小腿撑不起精心保存下来的长袜,让人忍俊不禁,

    浑厚质感的男声变成了像风笛与口哨般的童音,颤颤巍巍;

    这童声便是离奇跌宕的人生的休止符,重返童真,却牙齿掉光,目光呆滞,食不知味,极近湮灭。

    在人类事务发展的过程中,当一个民族必须解除同另一个民族的联系,并按照自然法则和上帝的旨意,以独立平等的身份立于世界列国之林时,出于对人类舆论的尊重,必须把驱使他们独立的原因予以宣布。

    我们认为下述真理是不言而喻的:人人生而平等,造物主赋予他们若干不可让与的权利,其中包括生存权、自由权和追求幸福的权利。为了保障这些权利,人们才在他们中间建立政府,而政府的正当权利,则是经被统治者同意授予的。任何形式的政府一旦对这些目标的实现起破坏作用时,人民便有权予以更换或废除,以建立一个新的政府。新政府所依据的原则和组织其权利的方式,务使人民认为唯有这样才最有可能使他们获得安全和幸福。若真要审慎的来说,成立多年的政府是不应当由于无关紧要的和一时的原因而予以更换的。过去的一切经验都说明,任何苦难,只要尚能忍受,人类还是情愿忍受,也不想为申冤而废除他们久已习惯了的政府形式。然而,当始终追求同一目标的一系列滥用职权和强取豪夺的行为表明政府企图把人民至于专制暴政之下时,人民就有权也有义务去推翻这样的政府,并为其未来的安全提供新的保障。这就是这些殖民地过去忍受苦难的经过,也是他们现在不得不改变政府制度的原因。

    因此我们这些在大陆会议上集会的美利坚合众国的代表们,以各殖民地善良人民的名义,并经他们授权,向世界最高裁判者申诉,说明我们的严重意向,同时郑重宣布:

    我们这些联合起来的殖民地现在是,而且按公理也应该是,独立自由的国家;我们对英国王室效忠的全部义务,我们与大不列颠王国之间大不列颠一切政治联系全部断绝,而且必须断绝。

    作为一个独立自由的国家,我们完全有权宣战、缔和、结盟、通商和采取独立国家有权采取的一切行动。

    我们坚定地信赖神明上帝的保佑,同时以我们的生命、财产和神圣的名誉彼此宣誓来支持这一宣言。
