A COLLECTION OF GOOD WORDS
原则
Principle
Love is the crowning grace of humanity, the holiest right of the soul, the golden link which binds us to duty and truth, the redeeming principle that chiefly reconciles the heart to life, and is prophetic of eternal good.
爱是人类至高无上的恩典,是灵魂最神圣的权利,是将我们与责任和真理联系在一起的黄金纽带,是使心灵与生活协调一致、预示永恒美好的救赎原则。
This nation was conceived in liberty and dedicated to the principle - among others - that honest men may honestly disagree; that if they all say what they think, a majority of the people will be able to distinguish truth from error.
这个国家孕育于自由之中,奉行的原则包括:诚实的人可以诚实地提出异议;如果他们都能说出自己的想法,大多数人就能分清是非。
The rehabilitation of order as a universal principle, however, suggested at the same time that orderliness by itself is not sufficient to account for the nature of organized systems in general or for those created by man in particular.
但是,恢复秩序作为一项普遍原则,同时也表明,秩序本身并不足以说明一般有组织的系统的性质,或特别是人类创造的系统的性质。
The only objects of practical reason are therefore those of good and evil. For by the former is meant an object necessarily desired according to a principle of reason; by the latter one necessarily shunned, also according to a principle of reason.
因此,现实理性的唯一对象是善与恶。因为前者是根据理性原则所必然要求的对象;后者必然被回避,这也是基于理性原则。
There are three principles in a man's being and life, the principle of thought, the principle of speech, and the principle of action. The origin of all conflict between me and my fellow-men is that I do not say what I mean and I don't do what I say.
人生有三个原则:思想原则、言语原则和行动原则。我和我的同胞们之间所有冲突的根源就是我不说我想说的话,也不做我想做的事。
Ever since I began to compose, I have remained true to my starting principle: not to write a page because no matter what public, or what pretty girl wanted it to be thus or thus; but to write solely as I myself thought best, and as it gave me pleasure.
自从我开始写作,我就一直坚持着我最初的原则:不写一页,因为无论什么公众,或什么漂亮女孩想要这样或那样;而是按照我自己认为最好的方式,按照它给我带来的快乐来写作。
So sometimes the facts are good and sometimes the facts are bad, the important thing from the point of view of a principle as broad and important as freedom of speech is that the courts articulate and set forth in a very protective way what those principles are.
因此,有时事实是好的,有时事实是坏的,从像言论自由一样广泛和重要的原则的观点来看,重要的事情是法院以一种非常保护的方式阐明这些原则是什么。
Science is based on the possibility of objectivity, on the possibility of different people checking out for themselves the observations made by others. Without that possibility, there is no empirical principle capable of deciding between different arguments and theories.
科学是建立在客观可能性的基础上的,是建立在不同的人自己检验别人的观察结果的可能性上的。没有这种可能性,就没有能够在不同的论点和理论之间做出决定的经验主义原则。
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。

Ideology and communication more often than not run into each other rather than complement each other. Principle and communication work together. Ideology and communication often work apart.
