A COLLECTION OF GOOD WORDS
后者
Latter
Art is the right hand of Nature. The latter has only given us being, the former has made us men.
艺术是大自然的右手。后者只给了我们生命,前者造就了我们人类。
Humility is a grace that shines in a high condition but cannot, equally, in a low one because a person in the latter is already, perhaps, too much humbled.
谦卑是一种优雅,它在高尚的环境中闪耀光芒,但在卑微的环境中却无法同样闪耀光芒,因为一个人在卑微的环境中可能已经过于谦卑了。
Oppression is something that one group of people commits against another group specifically because of a threatening characteristic shared by the latter group.
压迫是一群人对另一群人所做的事,特别是因为后者有一个共同的威胁特征。
When we are unwilling to draw clear moral lines between free societies and fear societies, when we are unwilling to call the former good and the latter evil, we will not be able to advance the cause of peace because peace cannot be disconnected from freedom.
当我们不愿在自由社会和恐惧社会之间划清道德界限,当我们不愿称前者为善,称后者为恶时,我们将无法推动和平事业,因为和平不能与自由分离。
