A COLLECTION OF GOOD WORDS
少数民族
Minority

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。
