A COLLECTION OF GOOD WORDS
民主
Democracy
I am truly free only when all human beings, men and women, are equally free. The freedom of other men, far from negating or limiting my freedom, is, on the contrary, its necessary premise and confirmation.
只有当所有的人，男人和女人，都同样自由的时候，我才是真正自由的。他人的自由非但不会否定或限制我的自由，相反，它是我自由的必要前提和确证。
Can someone within that society walk into the town square and say what they want without fear of being punished for his or her views? If so, then that society is a free society. If not, it is a fear society.
那个社会里的人能走进城镇广场，畅所欲言，而不用担心因为自己的观点而受到惩罚吗?如果是这样，那么这个社会就是一个自由的社会。如果没有，那就是一个充满恐惧的社会。
It's an embarrassment that we don't have a broad enough consensus among political leaders that true reform should take place. I could count the members of Congress on one hand that took these issues seriously.
令人尴尬的是，我们没有在政治领导人之间达成足够广泛的共识，认为应该进行真正的改革。我可以数一数认真对待这些问题的国会议员。
We are seeing a great awakening. A national movement of We the People, brought together by what unites us - a shared love of liberty, and an understanding of the unlimited potential of free men and free women.
我们正看到一个伟大的觉醒。这是一场全国人民的运动，是团结我们的力量将我们团结在一起——对自由的共同热爱，以及对自由男女的无限潜力的理解。
At every turn when there has been an imbalance of power, the truth questioned, or our beliefs and values distorted, the change required to restore our nation has always come from the bottom up from our people.
每当出现权力不平衡、真相受到质疑或我们的信仰和价值观受到扭曲时，恢复我们国家所需的变革总是从我们人民的底层开始。
We hold these truths to be self-evident: that all men are created equal;that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights; that among these are life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.
我们认为下述真理是不言而喻的:人人生而平等，造物主赋予他们若干不可剥夺的权利;其中包括生命、自由和对幸福的追求。
Obviously, the anti-ERA people are tickled about my ordeal because it proves that the ERA breaks up families. When they point out that feminism is a dangerous thing, I just say marriage is pretty precarious too.
显然，反时代的人们对我的遭遇感到高兴，因为这证明了这个时代拆散了家庭。当他们指出女权主义是一件危险的事情时，我只是说婚姻也很不稳定。
So a lot of our shows where even we think we've taken a very deliberate stand, liberals say, 'That's awesome, you took on the conservatives' same show and conservatives say 'That's awesome, you took on liberals.'
所以在我们的很多节目中，即使我们认为我们采取了非常慎重的立场，自由派人士也会说，‘太棒了，你和保守派演了同样的节目，而保守派人士会说，‘太棒了，你和自由派演了’。
So the Comic Book Legal Defense Fund is out there preserving and fighting for, and sometimes winning and sometimes losing, the fight for First Amendment rights in comics and, more generally, for freedom of speech.
所以漫画书法律辩护基金一直在保护和争取，有时赢有时输，为漫画的第一修正案权利而战，更广泛地说，为言论自由而战。
Freedom to differ is not limited to things that do not matter mush. That would be a mere shadow of freedom. The test of its substance is the right to differ as to things that touch the heart of the existing order.
不同意见的自由并不局限于无关紧要的事。那将仅仅是自由的影子。对其实质内容的检验是，有权对触及现有秩序核心的事物持不同意见。
Guard with jealous attention the public liberty. Suspect everyone who approaches that jewel. Unfortunately, nothing will preserve it but downright force. Whenever you give up that force, you are inevitably ruined.
警惕公众自由。怀疑每一个接近那颗宝石的人。不幸的是，除了赤裸裸的武力外，没有任何东西能够保护它。一旦你放弃了这种力量，你就不可避免地会被毁灭。
Look at what the Omar of Qatar is doing, for example - the King of Morocco, Jordan, Bahrain. There are reform movements taking place, efforts to broaden the political participation of the populations of the region.
看看卡塔尔的奥马尔在做什么，比如摩洛哥国王、约旦国王、巴林国王。正在进行改革运动，努力扩大该区域人民的政治参与。
KEEP EXPLORING
沿着这个主题，再读几句。
You might as well expect rivers to run backwards as any man born free to be contented penned up.
你可能会认为河流会倒流，就像任何生来就满足于被囚禁的人一样。
Freedom of the press is not an end in itself but a means to the end of achieving a free society.
新闻自由本身不是目的，而是实现自由社会的一种手段。
I don't think there's a whole lot of class literature at all. I think most of that has become racially based, and people don't think of it as being class literature.
我不认为有太多的文学作品。我认为大部分都是基于种族的，人们不认为这是阶级文学。
Liberties aren't given, they are taken.
自由不是被给予的，而是被夺走的。
Liberty, when it begins to take root, is a plant of rapid growth.
自由，当它开始生根时，是一株迅速生长的植物。
Freedom is never easily won, but once established, freedom lasts, spreads and chokes out tyranny.
自由从来不是容易赢得的，但一旦建立起来，自由就会持久、传播并压制暴政。
