A COLLECTION OF GOOD WORDS
人类
Mankind
If all mankind were to disappear, the world would regenerate back to the rich state of equilibrium that existed ten thousand years ago. If insects were to vanish, the environment would collapse into chaos.
如果所有人类都消失了，世界将重新恢复一万年前存在的丰富的平衡状态。如果昆虫消失了，环境就会陷入混乱。
I shall endeavour still further to prosecute this inquiry, an inquiry I trust not merely speculative, but of sufficient moment to inspire the pleasing hope of its becoming essentially beneficial to mankind.
我将进一步努力进行这项调查，我相信这项调查不仅是推测性的，而且有足够的时间来激发令人高兴的希望，使其从根本上造福于人类。
That's absolutely how I am. Like race, black or white - I see absolutely no difference. Because for me it's just such a reality. You are human, I am human, let's try to accept one another for whatever we are.
我就是这样。就像种族一样，不管是黑人还是白人——我看不出任何区别。因为对我来说，这就是现实。你是人，我也是人，让我们试着接受彼此，不管我们是谁。
The right of conscience and private judgment is unalienable, and it is truly the interest of all mankind to unite themselves into one body for the liberty, free exercise, and unmolested enjoyment of this right.
良知和个人判断的权利是不可剥夺的，为了自由、自由行使和不受干扰地享有这一权利而把自己团结成一个整体，确实符合全人类的利益。
I believe that man will not merely endure; he will prevail. He is immortal, not because he alone among the creatures has an inexhaustible voice, but because he has a soul, a spirit capable of kindness and compassion.
我相信人类不仅能忍受;他将获胜。他是不朽的，不是因为只有他在万物中有无穷无尽的发言权，而是因为他有灵魂，有善良和同情的精神。
The only medicine for suffering, crime, and all other woes of mankind, is wisdom. Teach a man to read and write, and you have put into his hands the great keys of the wisdom box. But it is quite another thing to open the box.
智慧是治疗人类痛苦、犯罪和所有其他不幸的唯一良药。教一个人读书写字，你就把智慧宝盒的大钥匙交给了他。但打开盒子是另一回事。
O mankind, We have created you male and female, and appointed you races and tribes, that you may know one another. Surely the noblest among you in the sight of God is the most god fearing of you. God is All-knowing, All-aware.
人类啊，我们创造了你们男性和女性，指定了你们种族和部落，好让你们彼此认识。在神面前，你们中间谁为大，谁就敬畏你。神是全知的，全知的。
Men speak of natural rights, but I challenge any one to show where in nature any rights existed or were recognized until there was established for their declaration and protection a duly promulgated body of corresponding laws.
人们谈到自然权利，但我要求任何人指出，在为他们的宣言和保护建立一个适当颁布的相应法律机构之前，在自然界中是否存在或承认任何权利。
The sacred rights of mankind are not to be rummaged for among old parchments or musty records. They are written, as with a sunbeam, in the whole volume of human nature, by the hand of the divinity itself; and can never be erased.
人类的神圣权利不能在古老的羊皮纸卷或发霉的记录中翻找。它们就像一束阳光一样，由神亲自书写在人类本性的全集里;而且永远无法抹去。
It is doubtful whether mankind are most indebted to those who like Bacon and Butler dig the gold from the mine of literature, or to those who, like Paley, purify it, stamp it, fix its real value, and give it currency and utility.
值得怀疑的是，人类是否最感激那些像培根和巴特勒那样从文学宝库中挖掘黄金的人，还是最感激那些像佩利那样净化它、盖章、确定它的真正价值并赋予它货币和效用的人。
Men go abroad to wonder at the heights of mountains, at the huge waves of the sea, at the long courses of the rivers, at the vast compass of the ocean, at the circular motions of the stars, and they pass by themselves without wondering.
人们到国外去，对高山的高度、大海的巨浪、河流的长流、浩瀚的海洋的罗盘、星星的圆周运动感到惊奇，而他们自己却毫不惊奇地走过了。
But when, in the first setting out, he takes it for granted without proof, that distinctions found in the structure of all languages, have no foundation in nature; this surely is too fastidious a way of treating the common sense of mankind.
但是，当他第一次出发的时候，他认为一切语言的结构上的差别在本质上都是没有根据的，这是没有证据的。这肯定是对待人类常识的一种过于挑剔的方式。
KEEP EXPLORING
沿着这个主题，再读几句。
Men are so simple and so much inclined to obey immediate needs that a deceiver will never lack victims for his deceptions.
人是如此简单，如此倾向于服从眼前的需要，以至于一个骗子永远不会因为他的欺骗而缺少受害者。
The fact is, every thinker, every philosopher, the moment he is forced to abandon his one-sided intellectual occupation by practical necessity, immediately returns to the general point of view of mankind.
事实上，每一个思想家，每一个哲学家，当他因为实际的需要而被迫放弃他片面的知识工作的时候，就立即回到人类的一般观点上来。
Example is the school of mankind, and they will learn at no other.
榜样是人类的学校，他们不会在别的学校学习。
We cannot learn men from books.
我们不能从书本上学到人。
We leave as we came and, god willing, as we shall return, with peace, and hope for all mankind.
我们来了就走，上帝愿意，我们将带着全人类的和平与希望回来。
If people destroy something replaceable made by mankind, they are called vandals; if they destroy something irreplaceable made by God, they are called developers.
如果人们破坏了人类创造的可替换的东西，他们被称为破坏者;如果他们破坏了上帝创造的不可替代的东西，他们就被称为开发者。
