In effect, to follow, not to force the public inclination; to give a direction, a form, a technical dress, and a specific sanction, to the general sense of the community, is the true end of legislature.
实际上，是追随，而不是强迫公众的意愿;立法的真正目的是为社会的普遍意识指明方向、提供形式、提供技术服装和给予具体的制裁。

Is it a surprise that into the vessel, in which the mercury has no inclination and no repugnance, not even the slightest, to being there, it should enter and should rise in a column high enough to make equilibrium with the weight of the external air which forces it up?
水银在容器中没有倾斜度，没有任何反感，甚至没有丝毫的反感，因此，当它进入容器时，它应该上升到足够高的水柱中，使之与迫使它上升的外部空气的重量达到平衡，这难道不奇怪吗?

It is foolhardy to think of the evil inclination as something which occasionally assails us. We are its very habitation!
把这种邪恶的倾向看作是偶尔袭击我们的东西是愚蠢的。我们就是它的住所!

If you're hit with a lawsuit that's untrue and the reasons you're hit with it aren't clear to you, there's a very big inclination on people's part to want to take responsibility for it - that this must be happening because I'm a terrible person, I did something, and I'm getting repaid for it.
如果你遭遇诉讼,这是无事实根据和理由你了你还不清楚,有一个非常大的倾向对人们的一部分要负责——这必须发生的,因为我是一个可怕的人,我做了一件,我得到偿还。
