Dissent
Down through the centuries, this trick has been tried by various establishments throughout the world. They force people to get involved in the kind of examination that has only one aim and that is to stamp out dissent.
几个世纪以来，世界各地的许多机构都在尝试这种方法。他们强迫人们参加只有一个目的的考试，那就是消灭异议。
The aspects of patriotism that hush dissent, encourage going along, and sanction comfortable distancing and compliance with what is indecent and unacceptable... those aspects are too fundamental to ignore or gloss over.

It was determined, as shown in the report of the Commission, which I can read to you, but I know you are familiar with the report. It states there was disagreement on this issue, particularly as the subject was debated, that there were different opinions about it.
如委员会的报告所示，这是确定的，我可以读给你听，但我知道你熟悉这份报告。它说，在这个问题上存在分歧，特别是在辩论这个问题时，对这个问题有不同的意见。
I want to be able to say what's on my mind and in my heart and what I think is helpful and useful without somebody getting angry, some special interest group deciding this is the time to silence a voice of dissent and attack affiliates, attack sponsors. I'm sort of done with that.
我希望能够说出我的想法，我的内心，我认为什么是有用的，什么是有用的，而不会有人感到愤怒，一些特殊利益集团决定现在是时候压制异议的声音，攻击附属机构，攻击赞助商。我受够了。
