A COLLECTION OF GOOD WORDS
自由
Freedom
Individuality is the aim of political liberty. By leaving to the citizen as much freedom of action and of being, as comports with order and the rights of others, the institutions render him truly a freeman. He is left to pursue his means of happiness in his own manner.
个性是政治自由的目标。通过给予公民与秩序和他人权利相适应的行动自由和生存自由，这些制度使他成为真正的自由人。他可以用自己的方式追求自己的幸福。
Many politicians are in the habit of laying it down as a self-evident proposition that no people ought to be free till they are fit to use their freedom. The maxim is worthy of the fool in the old story who resolved not to go into the water till he had learned to swim.
许多政治家习惯于把它作为一个不言自明的命题，即在人们能够充分利用他们的自由之前，没有人应该是自由的。这句格言就像古老故事里的傻瓜，他决定在学会游泳之前不下水。
A brief candle; both ends burning An endless mile; a bus wheel turning A friend to share the lonesome times A handshake and a sip of wine So say it loud and let it ring We are all a part of everything The future, present and the past Fly on proud bird You're free at last.
一个简短的蜡烛;两头烧 无尽的英里;公共汽车车轮转动 一个分享寂寞时光的朋友 一个握手和一小口酒 所以大声说出来，让它响起来 我们都是一切的一部分 未来，现在和过去 骄傲的小鸟 你终于自由了。
And there are certain things, and they are evident, obviously, without being boring about it, but I mean obviously, the two evident and easy ones being Gandhi and Cry Freedom, there are things which I do care about very much and which I would like to stand up and be counted.
有某些事情,他们很明显,显然,不无聊,但是我的意思是很明显,两个明显和容易的被甘地和自由而哭泣,有些事情我做非常关心,我想站起来和计算。
That the Op-Ed page is very important in readers' and the nation's perception of the Times, the perception of its editorial positions, and of its implicit editorial positions as expressed by the publisher's choice of people who are given the freedom to write opinion columns.
评论版在读者和国家对时代的看法中非常重要，对其编辑立场的看法，以及对其隐含的编辑立场的看法，就像出版商选择那些有自由写评论专栏的人所表达的那样。
It is the common fate of the indolent to see their rights become a prey to the active. The condition upon which God hath given liberty to man is eternal vigilance; which condition if he break, servitude is at once the consequence of his crime and the punishment of his guilt.
懒汉的共同命运是看到他们的权利成为积极分子的牺牲品。上帝赋予人自由的条件是永远保持警惕;如果他打破了这一条件，奴役就是他犯罪的结果，也是对他罪行的惩罚。
A renewed commitment to the freedom and opportunity of our people is the touchstone of our time. In this new century, where tests are many and challenges change with the shifting of the wind, we must hold fast to the principles that have made our nation the envy of the world.
重新致力于我国人民的自由和机会是我们时代的试金石。在这个考验众多、挑战随风云变幻而变化的新世纪，我们必须坚持使我国成为全世界羡慕的国家的各项原则。
‘Keep ancient lands, your storied pomp!’ cries she With silent lips. ‘Give me your tired, your poor, Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free, The wretched refuse of your teeming shore. Send these, the homeless, tempest-tossed, to me; I lift my lamp beside the golden door.’
“保留古老的土地，你那传奇的盛况!”她用沉默的嘴唇喊道。“给我你那疲倦的、可怜的、挤成一团渴望自由呼吸的群众，给我你那熙熙攘攘的岸边可怜的垃圾。把这些，无家可归的人，被暴风雨袭击的人，寄给我;我在金色的门边举起我的灯。”
Friends can help each other. A true friend is someone who lets you have total freedom to be yourself - and especially to feel. Or, not feel. Whatever you happen to be feeling at the moment is fine with them. That's what real love amounts to - letting a person be what he really is.
朋友可以互相帮助。一个真正的朋友会让你完全自由地做你自己，尤其是去感受。或者,没有感觉。不管你此刻的感觉如何，他们都能接受。这才是真正的爱——让一个人成为他真正的自己。
Marriage would change hardly anything between us, except that we would end our arguments in a much more satisfying way. And of course I would have extensive legal rights over your body, your property, and all your individual freedoms, but I don't see what's so alarming about that.
婚姻几乎不会改变我们之间的任何事情，除了我们会以一种更令人满意的方式结束争吵。当然，我对你的身体，你的财产，你所有的个人自由都有广泛的法律权利，但我不认为这有什么可怕的。
It should be clear by now that my focus here is not freedom of speech or the press. This freedom is all too often an exaggeration. At the very least, blind references to freedom of speech or the press serve as a distraction from the critical examination of other communications policies.
现在应该很清楚，我在这里的重点不是言论自由或新闻自由。这种自由常常被夸大了。至少，对言论自由或新闻自由的盲目引用会分散人们对其他传播政策的批判性审查。
I am free because I know that I alone am morally responsible for everything I do. I am free, no matter what rules surround me. If I find them tolerable, I tolerate them; if I find them too obnoxious, I break them. I am free because I know that I alone am morally responsible for everything I do.
我是自由的，因为我知道只有我一个人对我所做的每件事负有道德责任。我是自由的，不管我周围有什么规则。如果我觉得可以忍受，我就忍受;如果我发现它们太令人讨厌，我会打破它们。我是自由的，因为我知道只有我一个人对我所做的每件事负有道德责任。
KEEP EXPLORING
沿着这个主题，再读几句。
Man will never be free until the last king is strangled with the entrails of the last priest.
直到末后的王被末后祭司的肠子勒死，人才能得自由。
Until justice rolls down like water and righteousness like a mighty stream.
直到公平如大水滚滚而下，公义如江河滔滔。
The ballot is stronger than the bullet.
选票比子弹更有威力。
I know not what course others may take but, as for me, give me liberty, or give me death.
我不知道别人会怎么做，但对我来说，要么给我自由，要么让我死。
No man is good enough to govern any woman without her consent.
没有男人好到不经女人同意就支配她的地步。
War is peace. Freedom is slavery. Ignorance is strength.
战争是和平。自由则是一种苦役。无知就是力量。
