A COLLECTION OF GOOD WORDS
平等
Equality
It will appear evident upon attentive consideration that equality of intellectual and physical advantages is the only sure foundation of liberty, and that such equality may best, and perhaps only, be obtained by a union of interests and cooperation in labor.
仔细考虑一下,就会发现,智力和身体上的优势的平等是自由的唯一可靠基础,而这种平等可能是最好的,也许只有通过利益联盟和劳动合作才能实现。
Years ago I recognized my kinship with all living things, and I made up my mind that I was not one bit better than the meanest on the earth. I said then and I say now, that while there is a lower class, I am in it; while there is a criminal element, I am of it; while there is a soul in prison, I am not free.
多年前,我认识到我与所有生物都有亲缘关系,我下定决心,我不比地球上最卑贱的人强一点点。我当时说过,现在也说过,只要有下层阶级,我就在其中;只要有犯罪的成分,我也有;只要有一个灵魂在监狱里,我就没有自由。
