"'Give me your tired, your poor, your huddled masses ...' Since 1886 the Statue of Liberty, bearing Emma Lazarus's words of welcome on its base, has held aloft[在上] a torch in New York Harbor. Popular subscription[赠送] by Frenchmen bought the statue; Americans paid for the pedestal[基座]; the Government donated[赠送] the site—tiny Bedloe's Island, once known as Great Oyster."

    扩充阅读:

    Give me your tired, your poor,
    Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free.
    The wretched refuse of your teeming shore.
    Send these, the homeless, tempest-tossed, to me:
    I lift my lamp beside the golden door.  

    上面这首非常有名的诗,雕刻在美国纽约自由女神像基座上,作者是Emma Lazarus,数以百万计世界各地的移民就是从这里在自由女神的火炬下进入美国,在这个国家实现了他们的梦想。
