A COLLECTION OF GOOD WORDS
民主
Democracy
Opinions are formed in a process of open discussion and public debate, and where no opportunity for the forming of opinions exists, there may be moods -- moods of the masses and moods of individuals, the latter no less fickle and unreliable than the former -- but no opinion.
意见是在公开讨论和公开辩论的过程中形成的，在没有形成意见的机会的地方，可能会有情绪——群众的情绪和个人的情绪，个人的情绪和群众的情绪一样反复无常和不可靠——但没有意见。
The communitarians may say you've been enjoying too much individual freedom, and that you must give up some of that for the benefit of the community. But they really mean that they want more power over your life - to force you to subsidize, obey and conform to their choices.
社区主义者可能会说，你享受了太多的个人自由，为了社区的利益，你必须放弃其中的一些。但他们真正的意思是，他们想要对你的生活拥有更多的权力——强迫你去补贴、服从和遵从他们的选择。
A renewed commitment to the freedom and opportunity of our people is the touchstone of our time. In this new century, where tests are many and challenges change with the shifting of the wind, we must hold fast to the principles that have made our nation the envy of the world.
重新致力于我国人民的自由和机会是我们时代的试金石。在这个考验众多、挑战随风云变幻而变化的新世纪，我们必须坚持使我国成为全世界羡慕的国家的各项原则。
Citizens, the priority now is to recover trust between the Egyptian - amongst the Egyptians and to have trust and confidence in our economy and international reputation and the fact that the change that we have embarked on will carry on and there's no going back to the old days.
公民们，现在的首要任务是恢复埃及人之间的信任，埃及人之间的信任，对我们的经济和国际声誉有信心，我们已经开始的变革将继续下去，不会回到过去。
In the new code of laws which I suppose it will be necessary for you to make I desire you would remember the ladies, and be more generous and favourable to them than your ancestors.Do not put such unlimited power into the hands of the husbands. Remember all men would be tyrants if they could.
我想，在新的法典中，你有必要使我希望你记住那些小姐们，对她们比你的祖先更慷慨，更有利。不可将这无限的权柄交在丈夫手里。记住，如果可能的话，所有的人都会成为暴君。
Strengthen the female mind by enlarging it, and there will be an end to blind obedience; but as blind obedience is ever sought for by power, tyrants and sensualists are in the right when they endeavour to keep women in the dark, because the former only want slaves, and the latter a play-thing.
女人的心要刚强，要刚强，就必不再一味地顺从;但是，正如权力总是追求盲目的服从一样，暴君和肉欲主义者把妇女蒙在鼓里是正确的，因为前者只需要奴隶，而后者只是一种玩物。
The power of kings and magistrates is nothing else but what is only derivative; transformed and committed to them in trust from the people to the common good of them all, in whom the power yet remains fundamentally, and cannot be taken from them without a violation of their natural birthright.
国王和官员的权力只不过是派生出来的;把权力从人民手中转变过来，托付给他们，让他们为所有人的共同利益服务，而权力仍然从根本上存在于他们身上，如果不侵犯他们与生俱来的自然权利，就不能从他们手中夺走。
We have learned to say that the good must be extended to all of society before it can be held secure by any one person or any one class. But we have not yet learned to add to that statement, that unless all [people] and all classes contribute to a good, we cannot even be sure that it is worth having.
我们已经学会说，只有把善扩展到整个社会，才能使任何一个人或任何一个阶层得到保障。但是，我们还没有学会给这句话加上一句:除非所有的人、所有的阶级都为一件好事做出贡献，否则我们甚至不能肯定它是否值得拥有。
