马丁路德金的这篇演讲有好几个翻译的版本，课文用的是比较被认可的。下面的链接是全文。 http://www.usembassy-china.org.cn/infousa/living_doc/GB/haveadream.htm

说到翻译，Amber 是Chinesepod的幕后英雄。

obitoddkenobi, 这篇翻译真的非常棒。很可惜翻译常常是幕后英雄，我们不知道他们是谁。不过中国近代有几个著名的翻译家：严复、傅雷、钱钟书。都是精通中外语言、文化和哲学的大师。我们有一个关于翻译的课程，说到了严复提出的“信、达、雅”的准则。 等一下我发链接。

dogeatsrat, Unrequited love is 单相思/dan1 xiang1 si1, literally means one sided longing.

auntie68, WWI and WWII are 第一次世界大战 and 第二次世界大战。Very matter-of-factly, no alternative terms as in the Anglo-Saxon discourse, for the very reasons you so well put.

user13983, Remembrance Day isn't widely known in China. I was only introduced to it in Australia.

changye, I thrived on Pocky for a better part of my life. Eating it for breakfast, lunch and afternoon snack. It is certainly worthy of celebration. I thought about being a dedicated Pocky collector, sampling all locally produced and imported ones from Japan. But ironically, I got overdosed in the process. I've stayed Pocky free for over a year now.

Changye, Being the king of ryhme, I wish you were there when John and I had to write a ryhming poem for a newbie lesson. It's coming soon. 到时候请多多指教！

Boran, Singleton is 光棍儿/guang1 gun4 er, which literally means a stick. I guess the connotation is that you are all by yourself, partner less just like a stick which doesn't have a belonging compared to say a fork and a knife or bangers and mash. In recent years, November 11th has been hailed as 光棍儿节, for both visual and numercial reasons.

dogeatsrat， Plato is translated as 柏拉图.Platonic love is 柏拉图式恋爱, based on the transliteration. A more idiomatic term is 精神恋爱，indicating that the relationship is psychological not physical. I do sound a bit cynical in the podcast. Perhaps Valentine's Day brings out the cynicism in me. 不过还是祝大家情人节快乐！
