Translate the following paragraph into Chinese The American Dream is a national ethos (精精 神神特特质质) of the United States. The term is used in many ways, but it essentially is an idea that suggests that anyone in the US can succeed 34. through hard work and has the potential to lead a happy, successful life. Many people have expanded upon or refined the definition to include things such as freedom, fulfillment and meaningful relationships. The idea of an American Dream is older than the US, dating back 35. to the 1600s, when people began to have all sorts of hopes and aspirations for what was a new and largely unexplored continent to European immigrants. And the meaning of the Dream has changed over the course of history, including both personal components 36. and a global vision. But not everybodythinks the American Dream is a positive thing. Some people believe that the structure of society in the US prevents such an idealistic goal for everyone. Critics often point to examples of inequality rooted in class, race, religion and ethnicity that suggest that the American Dreams is not attainable for everyone. 37. 美国梦是美利坚合众国的民族精神。该词有美国梦是美利坚合众国的民族精神。该词有 各种各样的用法，但其根本含义是，在美国各种各样的用法，但其根本含义是，在美国 任何人都可以通过努力获得成功，都有可能任何人都可以通过努力获得成功，都有可能 过上幸福而成功的生活。许多人对美国梦到过上幸福而成功的生活。许多人对美国梦到 概念加以拓展和提炼，涵盖了像自由、自我概念加以拓展和提炼，涵盖了像自由、自我 实现和深厚的人际关系等方面的内容。美实现和深厚的人际关系等方面的内容。美 国梦的思想比美国本身更为久远，可以追溯国梦的思想比美国本身更为久远，可以追溯38. 到到17世纪，当时的欧洲移民面对这一新发现世纪，当时的欧洲移民面对这一新发现 的、未经开发的广袤大陆，开始纷纷怀揣希的、未经开发的广袤大陆，开始纷纷怀揣希 望，追逐梦想。随着历史的发展，美国梦的望，追逐梦想。随着历史的发展，美国梦的 含义已改变，既包含了个人元素，也包含了含义已改变，既包含了个人元素，也包含了 全局视野。但并不是每个人都对美国梦持肯全局视野。但并不是每个人都对美国梦持肯 定态度。一些人认为美国的社会结构决定了定态度。一些人认为美国的社会结构决定了 不是每个人都能拥有这样的理想目标。批评不是每个人都能拥有这样的理想目标。批评 者常常举以实例，揭露植根于阶级、种族、者常常举以实例，揭露植根于阶级、种族、39. 宗教和民族的不平等现象，指出美国梦并非宗教和民族的不平等现象，指出美国梦并非 每个人都可企及。每个人都可企及。40.XI.
