A COLLECTION OF GOOD WORDS
财产
Property
Life, liberty, and property do not exist because men have made laws. On the contrary, it was the fact that life, liberty, and property existed beforehand that caused men to make laws in the first place.
生命、自由和财产的存在并不是因为人们制定了法律。相反，正是生命、自由和财产在此之前就已经存在，这一事实促使人们首先制定法律。
Property is not the sacred right. When a rich man becomes poor it is a misfortune, it is not a moral evil. When a poor man becomes destitute, it is a moral evil, teeming with consequences and injurious to society and morality.
财产不是神圣的权利。富人变穷是一种不幸，而不是道德上的罪恶。当一个穷人变得贫困，这是一种道德上的罪恶，充满了后果，有害于社会和道德。
There is surely no contradiction in saying that a certain section of the community may be quite competent to protect the persons and property of the rest, yet quite unfit to direct our opinions, or to superintend our private habits.
说社会上的某一部分人也许完全有能力保护其他人的人身和财产，但又完全不适合指导我们的意见，或监督我们的私人习惯，这当然并不矛盾。
What everybody misses here is that we are doing the same thing my father did. He licensed and litigated and protected his property, and we have to follow the same tradition, because the way the law reads, if you don't protect it, you lose it.
这里每个人都怀念的是，我们正在做着和我父亲一样的事情。他许可、诉讼和保护他的财产，我们必须遵循同样的传统，因为法律的解读是，如果你不保护它，你就会失去它。
When a system is considered in two different states, the difference in volume or in any other property, between the two states, depends solely upon those states themselves and not upon the manner in which the system may pass from one state to the other.
当一个系统处于两种不同的状态时，两种状态之间的体积或任何其他性质的差异只取决于这些状态本身，而不取决于系统从一种状态传递到另一种状态的方式。
KEEP EXPLORING
沿着这个主题，再读几句。
By appreciation, we make excellence in others our own property.
通过欣赏，我们使别人的优点成为我们自己的财产。
Thieves respect property. They merely wish the property to become their property that they may more perfectly respect it.
盗贼尊重财产权。他们只是希望财产成为他们的财产，以便他们能够更完全地尊重它。
Even though the museums guarding their precious property fence everything off, in my own studio, I made them so you and I could walk in and around, and among these sculptures.
尽管那些保护着他们珍贵财产的博物馆把所有的东西都围了起来，在我自己的工作室里，我做了它们，这样你和我就可以在这些雕塑中走来走去。
Property has its duties as well as its rights.
财产有它的权利，也有它的义务。
Property in man, always morally unjust, has become nationally dangerous.
人类的财产，在道德上总是不公平的，已经成为国家的危险。
We have to make their livelihoods viable, get them the proper prices for their produce, try and make them stay rather than sell their property and leave again.
我们必须让他们的生计维持下去，为他们的农产品找到合适的价格，努力让他们留下来，而不是卖掉他们的财产，然后再离开。
