A COLLECTION OF GOOD WORDS
公民
Citizen
Experts always know everything but the fine points. When I took my citizenship exams, no one there knew how the White House came to be called the White House.
专家什么都知道，就是不知道要点。当我参加公民考试时，那里没有人知道白宫是如何被称为白宫的。
To be a good citizen, it's important to be able to put yourself in other people's shoes and see the big picture. If everything you see is rooted in your own identity, that becomes difficult or impossible.
要做一个好公民，能够设身处地为别人着想，看到大局是很重要的。如果你所看到的一切都根植于你自己的身份，那就会变得困难或不可能。

I'm a citizen of the world. I like it that way. The world's a wonderful. I just think that some people are pretty badly represented. But when you speak to the people themselves they're delightful. They all want so little.
我是世界公民。我喜欢这样。世界是美好的。我只是觉得有些人的代表性很差。但是当你和人们交谈的时候，他们是令人愉快的。他们都想要那么少。
Enough is enough. Six years you serve the countries. You been working hard. You sacrifice your time even your life. And, even your family life. So it's, it's time for me to go back as a private citizen. And contribute to the Thai society outside political arena.
够了就是够了。六年你为国家服务。你一直很努力。你牺牲了你的时间甚至你的生命。甚至你的家庭生活。所以，是时候让我以一个普通公民的身份回去了。并在政治舞台之外为泰国社会做出贡献。
I don't want to be a lobbyist. I want to provide strategic advice to companies. I said both of those things in the course of the interview, and I made clear this is a matter only for after I had become a private citizen and I was no longer a member of parliament.
我不想当说客。我想为公司提供战略建议。我在采访中说了这两件事，我明确表示，这只是在我成为一名普通公民，不再是国会议员之后的事情。
By encouraging its citizens to violate our border, Mexico is pushing a tremendous welfare burden off of its shoulders and onto ours, while also benefiting from the significant sums of U.S. currency that these workers will eventually send back home to their families.
通过鼓励墨西哥公民侵犯我们的边境，墨西哥正在把巨大的福利负担从自己的肩上推到我们的肩上，同时也受益于这些工人最终将寄回家的巨额美元。
