A COLLECTION OF GOOD WORDS
平等
Equality
The goal of the EU is to form a region of freedom, security and justice. Freedom in this connection cannot be just the freedom of the strong, but it must be combined with fraternity and equality.
欧盟的目标是建立一个自由、安全和公正的地区。在这方面的自由不能仅仅是强者的自由，但必须与博爱和平等结合起来。
Until women learn to want economic independence, and until they work out a way to get this independence without denying themselves the joys of love and motherhood, it seems to me feminism has no roots.
直到女性学会想要经济独立，直到她们找到一种方法在不剥夺自己享受爱和母爱的乐趣的前提下获得这种独立，在我看来，女权主义没有根基。

We hold these truths to be self evident: that all men are created equal;that they are endowed by their creator with inherent and inalienable rights;that among these are life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.

There can be no equality or opportunity if men and women and children be not shielded in their lives from the consequences of great industrial and social processes which they cannot alter, control, or singly cope with.
如果男人、女人和儿童不能在生活中免受他们无法改变、控制或单独应付的巨大工业和社会进程的后果的保护，就不可能有平等或机会。
Real equality is immensely difficult to achieve, it needs continual revision and monitoring of distributions. And it does not provide buffers between members, so they are continually colliding or frustrating each other.
真正的平等是非常难以实现的，它需要不断地修订和监测分布。而且它不提供成员之间的缓冲区，因此它们之间不断地发生冲突或相互干扰。
The essence of our effort to see that every child has a chance must be to assure each an equal opportunity, not to become equal, but to become different-to realize whatever unique potential of body, mind and spirit he or she possesses.
我们努力确保每个孩子都有机会，其本质必须是确保每个孩子都有平等的机会，不是要变得平等，而是要变得不同——实现他或她所拥有的任何独特的身体、心灵和精神潜能。
If it were (Is it not) outrageous that society should treat with such rigid precision those of its members who were most poorly endowed in the distribution or wealth that chance had made, and who were, therefore, most worthy of indulgence.
如果社会如此严格地对待其成员中那些在机遇所创造的分配或财富方面最缺乏天赋、因而最值得纵容的人，这(难道不是)令人愤慨的吗?
The land is ours. It's not European and we have taken it, we have given it to the rightful people... Those of white extraction who happen to be in the country and are farming are welcome to do so, but they must do so on the basis of equality.
土地是我们的。它不是欧洲的，我们拿走了，我们把它给了合法的人……那些碰巧在乡下务农的白人是受欢迎的，但他们必须在平等的基础上这样做。
Can a woman become a genius of the first class? Nobody can know unless women in general shall have equal opportunity with men in education, in vocational choice, and in social welcome of their best intellectual work for a number of generations.
一个女人能成为一流的天才吗?除非妇女在教育、职业选择和社会欢迎方面享有与男子平等的机会，使她们能从事几代人以来最好的智力工作，否则没有人能知道。
Equality, rightly understood as our founding fathers understood it, leads to liberty and to the emancipation of creative differences; wrongly understood, as it has been so tragically in our time, it leads first to conformity and then to despotism.
平等，正如我们的开国元勋们所正确理解的那样，将导致自由和创造性分歧的解放;正如在我们这个时代所发生的悲剧一样，对它的错误理解，首先导致了顺从，然后导致了专制。
All men have an equal right to the free development of their faculties; they have an equal right to the impartial protection of the state; but it is not true, it is against all the laws of reason and equity, it is against the eternal nature of things.
所有人都有平等的权利自由发展自己的才能;他们有平等的权利得到国家的公正保护;但这不是真的，它违背了所有理性和公平的法则，它违背了事物永恒的本性。
