与生俱来权利
Birthright
Every time I took a long leave from home, I felt as if I were going to conquer the world. Or rather, take possession of what is my birthright, my inheritance.
每次我离开家很长一段时间，我觉得我好像要征服世界。求你将我长子的名分，就是我的产业，夺过来。
Why should citizenship be a matter of birth? The premise held by those who want to end birthright citizenship is that some people deserve it and some do not - that the status shouldn't be handed out automatically. Frankly, that's a premise worth considering.
为什么公民身份应该是一个出生问题?那些想要终止出生公民权的人所持的前提是，有些人应该享有，有些人不应该——这种身份不应该自动被授予。坦白地说，这是一个值得考虑的前提。
