A COLLECTION OF GOOD WORDS
民主
Democracy
If a liberal political philosophy stands for anything, and I am no longer sure it does, then it must mean that we are committed to the leveling of the playing field for everyone.
如果一种自由主义的政治哲学代表任何东西，而且我不再肯定它代表什么，那么它一定意味着我们致力于为每个人创造公平的竞争环境。
I personally believe that those who are leaders with political power over the world will be forced some day, sooner or later, to give way to common sense and the will of the people.
我个人认为，那些在世界上拥有政治权力的领导人迟早会被迫让位于常识和人民的意愿。
Without deviation, without exception, without any ifs, buts, or whereases, freedom of speech means you shall not do something to people for views they have, express, speak, or write.
言论自由没有偏差、没有例外、没有“如果”、“但是”或任何理由，就意味着你不能因为人们的观点、表达、言论或写作而对他们做任何事情。
I know of no more important subject to the peace of Europe and the world than the reasonable reduction of armaments, especially in Europe, and of naval armaments throughout the world.
我知道，对欧洲和世界的和平来说，最重要的问题莫过于合理削减军备，特别是在欧洲和全世界的海军军备。
The popular, and one may say naive, idea is that peace can be secured by disarmament and that disarmament must therefore precede the attainment of absolute security and lasting peace.

You do now have one in three people, as shown by the famous Carlton Monarchy debate poll, saying they want to get rid of the Monarchy. That was unthinkable even three, four years ago.
现在确实有三分之一的人，正如著名的卡尔顿君主制辩论民意调查所显示的，说他们想摆脱君主制。这在三四年前是不可想象的。
We have an open society. No one will come and take me away for saying what I am saying. But they don't have to, if they can control how many people hear it. And that's how they do it.
我们有一个开放的社会。没有人会因为我说的话而来把我带走。但如果他们能控制有多少人听到，他们就不必这么做。他们就是这样做的。
Disobedience, in the eyes of anyone who has read history, is man's original virtue. It is through disobedience that progress has been made, through disobedience and through rebellion.
在任何读过历史的人看来，不服从是人的本性。进步是通过不服从，通过不服从和反叛取得的。
New ideas should confront old ideas. We must refer to the example of Europe. People have fought to make Europe what it is today. Freedom is not something that is served up on a plate.
新观念应该面对旧观念。我们必须以欧洲为例。人们为使欧洲成为今天的样子而奋斗。自由不是装在盘子里的东西。
We have a system that allows us to manage a free and fair election, free of fraud, free of intimidation, and that's what we delivered on election day, and we're very very proud of it.
我们有一个系统，可以让我们管理一个自由公正的选举，没有欺诈，没有恐吓，这就是我们在选举日所做的，我们对此感到非常自豪。
I've been really lucky to have had my fair share of relationships over the years and experiences to draw from. But I would say that I generally am not the one doing the heartbreaking.
我真的很幸运，这么多年来，我有很多可以借鉴的人际关系和经验。但我想说的是，我通常不是那个让人心碎的人。
I got involved because I wanted to help inspire more people to get off their butts and register and vote - not just in this election, but in every other election from now on, you know?
我参与其中是因为我想帮助激励更多的人站起来，登记和投票——不仅仅是在这次选举中，而是从现在开始的每一次选举中，你知道吗?
