一、英譯中:請將以下英文段落譯為中文

American civil rights activist, Martin Luther King once stated, "The prosperity of a country depends, not on the abundance of its revenues, nor on the strength of its fortifications, nor on the beauty of its public buildings; but it consists in the number of its cultivated citizens, in its men of education, enlightenment, and character; here are to be found its true interest, its chief strength, its real power."(15 分)

美國公民運動家馬丁路德曾說過：「一個國家的興衰不取決於收入的多寡，不在於築堡設防的能力，也不是公共建築有多美觀。而是取決於公民的教化，國民的教育、啟蒙及人格的陶冶。在那其中，才能是發掘國家真正的利益，主要的優勢，以及實質的力量。」

The question lies before us is not to ask whether the market is a force for good or ill. Its power to generate wealth and expand freedom is unmatched, but the economic crisis has reminded us that without a watchful eye, the market can spin out of control - and that a nation cannot prosper long when it favors only the prosperous. The success of our economy has always depended not just on the size of our Gross Domestic Product, but on the reach of our prosperity; on our ability to extend opportunity to
every willing heart - not out of charity, but because it is the surest route to our common good.(15 分)

我們當前面臨的問題不是市場力量會帶來好或壞。市場所能產生財富與拓展自由的力量是無與倫比的，但是經濟危機提醒著我們，若不當心與警覺，市場可能崩盤 -- 因此當國家獨利富人的時候，國家的富裕也不會長久。經濟成功需要依賴的不只是國民生產毛額的大小，而是這樣的數字數否帶來實質的興盛，是否能夠將機會擴及至每個願意努力的國民 -- 這不是為了做慈善，而是為了通往長久、穩定的共同利益。

小小字典

fortification 軍事防禦
These are thick-walled defenses, rather than decorative fortifications. 這些是堅實的堡壘，不是裝飾性的城牆。
