A COLLECTION OF GOOD WORDS
法律
Law
Laws for the liberal education of youth, especially for the lower classes of people, are so extremely wise and useful that to a humane and generous mind, no expense for this purpose would be thought extravagant.
青年博雅教育的法律，特别是对下层人民的法律，是如此的明智和有用，以致于对一个仁慈和慷慨的人来说，没有任何为此目的的花费会被认为是奢侈的。
In order to be successful against each of these threats, we have to have a presence overseas, work closely not only with our counterparts in the law enforcement community, but also with the intelligence community.
为了成功地应对每一种威胁，我们必须在海外开展业务，不仅要与执法部门的同行密切合作，还要与情报部门密切合作。
Law enforcement officers are never 'off duty.' They are dedicated public servants who are sworn to protect public safety at any time and place that the peace is threatened. They need all the help that they can get.
执法人员从不“下班”。他们是忠诚的公务员，发誓在和平受到威胁的任何时间和地点保护公共安全。他们需要所有能得到的帮助。
We are born knowing nothing and with much striving we learn but a little; yet all the while we are bound by laws that hearken to no plea of ignorance, and measure out their rewards and punishments with calm indifference.
我们生来什么都不知道，经过努力，我们学到的只是一点点;然而，我们始终受到法律的约束，这些法律不听任何无知的辩解，以平静的冷漠来衡量它们的奖惩。
But assuming the same premises, to wit, that all men are equal by the law of nature and of nations, the right of property in slaves falls to the ground; for one who is equal to another cannot be the owner or property of that other.

Now to consult the rules of composition before making a picture is a little like consulting the law of gravitation before going for a walk. Such rules and laws are deduced from the accomplished fact; they are the products of reflection.
现在，在照相之前先研究构图的规则，有点像在散步之前先研究万有引力定律。这些规则和规律是从既成事实中推导出来的;它们是反思的产物。
Once you start to provide public services that have to be run under public rules, for example child protection, then it has to go with public law. Institutions have to make a decision whether they want to do that or they don't want to do that.
一旦你开始提供必须在公共规则下运行的公共服务，例如儿童保护，那么它就必须与公法相配合。机构必须做出决定他们是想做还是不想做。
One who breaks an unjust law that conscience tells him is unjust, and who willingly accepts the penalty of imprisonment in order to arouse the conscience of the community over its injustice, is in reality expressing the highest respect for law.
一个人如果违反了良心告诉他是不公正的法律，并且心甘情愿地接受监禁的惩罚，以唤起社会对其不公正的良心，那么他实际上是在表达对法律的最高尊重。
That only a few, under any circumstances, protest against the injustice of long-established laws and customs, does not disprove the fact of the oppressions, while the satisfaction of the many, if real only proves their apathy and deeper degradation.
在任何情况下，只有少数人抗议长期存在的法律和习俗的不公正，但这并不能证明压迫的事实是不成立的，而许多人的满足，如果是真实的，只能证明他们的冷漠和更深的堕落。
The first legislation that I produced relating to the Internet was a bill to overturn a restriction inside of the law that prohibited the Internet backbone from being used for anything other than research and scientific and educational communication.
我提出的第一个有关互联网的立法是推翻法律内部的一项限制，该限制禁止互联网主干用于研究、科学和教育交流以外的任何事情。
The smartest thing I did in law school: asking my future wife to go out dancing with me. The smartest thing I did when practicing law: quitting. The smartest thing I've done in writing: following my own head and writing what I wanted to write, and nothing but.
我在法学院做的最聪明的一件事就是邀请我未来的妻子和我一起出去跳舞。当我从事法律工作时，我做的最明智的一件事是:辞职。我在写作中做过的最聪明的事:跟随自己的想法，写下我想写的东西，除此之外别无他法。
I'm not a good father and they're not children any more; the eldest is in his fifties. My relationship with their mothers broke down and, because of what the law was, they went with their mothers and were imbued with their mothers' morality in life and they were not my people any more.
我不是一个好父亲，他们也不再是孩子了;老大五十多岁了。我与他们母亲的关系破裂了，因为律法的缘故，他们与母亲同去，在生活中充满了母亲的道德，他们就不再是我的子民了。
KEEP EXPLORING
沿着这个主题，再读几句。
Not that pleading can be taken as a test, for the forms of action, notably Debt, ignore the fundamental difference between duties imposed by law and duties created by the will of the parties.

很久以前，作为一名检察官，我学到的一件事是，如果没有对违法者的惩罚，要让他们遵守法律是很难的。
A foolish judge passes brief sentence.
愚蠢的法官只判简单的判决。
When I used to teach civil procedure as a law professor, I would begin the year by telling my students that 'civil procedure is the etiquette of ritualized battle.' The phrase, which did not originate with me, captured the point that peaceful, developed societies resolve disputes by law rather than by force.
当我曾经作为一名法学教授教授民事诉讼时，我会在一开始就告诉我的学生，民事诉讼是仪式化战斗的礼仪。这句话并非出自我之口，它抓住了一个要点，即和平、发达的社会通过法律而不是武力解决争端。
