A COLLECTION OF GOOD WORDS
多数
Majority
We may consider each generation as a distinct nation, with a right, by the will of its majority, to bind themselves, but none to bind the succeeding generation, more than the inhabitants of another country.
我们可以把每一代人看作是一个独特的民族，他们有权利，按照大多数人的意愿，约束自己，但没有人比另一个国家的居民更能约束后代。
My view is that, just as in many businesses, brands really matter. There will always be a role for destination sites. Eighty million users come to our destination. I think that will be the vast majority of our future business.
我的观点是，就像许多企业一样，品牌真的很重要。目标站点总是有一个角色。八千万用户来到我们的目的地。我认为这将是我们未来业务的绝大部分。
Thus, the controversy about the Moral Majority arises not only from its views, but from its name - which, in the minds of many, seems to imply that only one set of public policies is moral and only one majority can possibly be right.
因此，关于道德多数的争论不仅来自其观点，而且来自其名称——在许多人看来，这似乎意味着只有一套公共政策是道德的，而且只有一种多数可能是正确的。
Look, we know we screwed up when we were in the majority. We fell in love with power. We spent way too much money - especially on earmarks. There was too much corruption when we ran this place. We were guilty. And that's why we lost.
听着，我们知道当我们占多数的时候我们搞砸了。我们爱上了权力。我们花了太多钱，特别是专项拨款。我们经营这个地方的时候腐败太严重了。我们是有罪的。这就是我们失败的原因。
The vast majority of human beings dislike and even actually dread all notions with which they are not familiar... Hence it comes about that at their first appearance innovators have generally been persecuted, and always derided as fools and madmen.
绝大多数人不喜欢甚至实际上害怕所有他们不熟悉的概念。因此，创新者一出现就受到迫害，总是被嘲笑为傻瓜和疯子。
There can be no assumption that today's majority is "right" and the Amish and others like them are "wrong." A way of life that is odd or even erratic but interferes with no rights or interests of others is not to be condemned because it is different.
不能假设今天的大多数人是“正确的”，而阿米什人和其他类似的人是“错误的”。一种奇怪甚至不稳定但不干涉他人权益的生活方式不应因其不同而受到谴责。
All, too, will bear in mind this sacred principle, that though the will of the majority is in all cases to prevail, that will to be rightful must be reasonable; that the minority possess their equal rights, which equal law must protect, and to violate would be oppression.
所有人也将铭记这一神圣的原则，即虽然多数人的意愿在所有情况下都占上风，但这种合法的意愿必须是合理的;少数人拥有平等的权利，而平等的法律必须保护这些权利，侵犯这些权利就是压迫。
It is bad to be oppressed by a minority, but it is worse to be oppressed by a majority. For there is a reserve of latent power in the masses which, if it is called into play, the minority can seldom resist. But from the absolute will of an entire people there is no appeal, no redemption, no refuge but treason.
被少数人压迫是不好的，但被多数人压迫更坏。因为群众中有一种潜在的力量，叫它发挥作用，少数人是很难抗拒的。但出于全体人民的绝对意志，除了叛国之外，没有任何呼吁，没有任何救赎，没有任何庇护。
KEEP EXPLORING
沿着这个主题，再读几句。
It is commercial pop that the majority of people understand. A working man's daughter would not understand blues.
大多数人理解的是商业流行音乐。一个工人的女儿不会理解布鲁斯。
The great questions of the day will not be settled by means of speeches and majority decisions but by iron and blood.
今天的重大问题不是靠演讲和多数人的决定就能解决的，而是靠铁和血。
Anyone who writes knows that ultimately the majority of your time is spent alone in a room with a piano or a guitar, no matter what the project is.
任何写作的人都知道，不管你的项目是什么，最终你的大部分时间都是一个人呆在一个房间里，旁边放着钢琴或吉他。
The test of courage comes when we are in the minority. The test of tolerance comes when we are in the majority.
当我们处于少数时，勇气的考验就来了。当我们占多数的时候，宽容的考验就来了。

在经济学中，多数人总是错的。
Whenever you find yourself on the side of the majority, it is time to pause and reflect.
