A liberal is a person who believes that water can be made to run uphill. A conservative is someone who believes everybody should pay for his water. I'm somewhere in between: I believe water should be free, but that water flows downhill.

  • -- Theodore H. White 白修德

自由主义者是相信水可以流到山上的人。保守主义者认为每个人都应该为自己的水付费。我的观点介于两者之间:我认为水应该是免费的,但水是往下坡流的。
