The New Nationalism (1910)
We come here to-day to commemorate one of the epoch-making events of the long struggle for the rights of man—the long struggle for the uplift of humanity.
我们今天来到这里,纪念争取人权的长期斗争中的划时代事件之一——争取人类进步的长期斗争。
Our country—this great Republic—means nothing unless it means the triumph of a real democracy, the triumph of popular government, and, in the long run, of an economic system under which each man shall be guaranteed the opportunity to show the best that there is in him.
我们的国家——这个伟大的共和国——除非它意味着真正的民主的胜利,人民政府的胜利,以及从长远来看,保证每个人都有机会展示自己最好的一面的经济制度的胜利,否则它就毫无意义。
That is why the history of America is now the central feature of the history of the world; for the world has set its face hopefully toward our democracy; and, O my fellow citizens, each one of you carries on your shoulders not only the burden of doing well for the sake of your own country, but the burden of doing well and of seeing that this nation does well for the sake of mankind.
这就是为什么美国历史如今成为世界历史的中心特征。因为世界已经满怀希望地走向我们的民主;我的同胞们,你们每个人肩上不仅肩负着为自己的国家做好事的重担,而且还肩负着为人类做好事并确保这个国家做好事的重担。
There have been two great crises in our country's history: first, when it was formed, and then, again, when it was perpetuated; and, in the second of these great crises—in the time of stress and strain which culminated in the Civil War, on the outcome of which depended the justification of what had been done earlier, you men of the Grand Army, you men who fought through the Civil War, not only did you justify your generation, not only did you render life worth living for our generation, but you justified the wisdom of Washington and Washington's colleagues.
我国历史上曾发生过两次重大危机:一是国家成立时的危机,二是国家延续时的危机;二是国家成立时的危机。在第二次重大危机中,在压力和压力最终导致内战的时期,内战的结果取决于先前所做的一切的合理性,你们这些伟大的军队的人们,你们这些经历过内战的人们,不仅为你们这一代人辩护,不仅为我们这一代人的生活提供了价值,而且你们为华盛顿和华盛顿同事的智慧辩护。
If this Republic had been founded by them only to be split asunder into fragments when the strain came, then the judgment of the world would have been that Washington's work was not worth doing.
如果他们建立的这个共和国只是在压力到来时分裂成碎片,那么世界的判断就会是华盛顿的工作不值得做。
It was you who crowned Washington's work, as you carried to achievement the high purpose of Abraham Lincoln.
正是你们为华盛顿的工作加冕,因为你们实现了亚伯拉罕·林肯的崇高目标。
Now, with this second period of our history the name of John Brown will be forever associated; and Kansas was the theatre upon which the first act of the second of our great national life dramas was played.
现在,约翰·布朗的名字将与我们历史的第二个时期永远联系在一起。堪萨斯州是我们伟大的民族生活戏剧第二部的第一幕上演的地方。
It was the result of the struggle in Kansas which determined that our country should be in deed as well as in name devoted to both union and freedom; that the great experiment of democratic government on a national scale should succeed and not fail.
正是堪萨斯斗争的结果决定了我们的国家应该在行动上和名义上致力于联邦和自由。全国范围内民主政府的伟大实验应该成功而不是失败。
In name we had the Declaration of Independence in 1776; but we gave the lie by our acts to the words of the Declaration of Independence until 1865; and words count for nothing except in so far as they represent acts.
1776 年,我们名义上发表了《独立宣言》;但直到 1865 年,我们的行为都证明了《独立宣言》的谎言。言语除非代表行为,否则毫无意义。
This is true everywhere; but, O my friends, it should be truest of all in political life.
这在任何地方都是如此。但是,我的朋友们,这在政治生活中应该是最真实的。
A broken promise is bad enough in private life.
在私人生活中,违背承诺已经够糟糕的了。
It is worse in the field of politics.
政治领域的情况更糟。
No man is worth his salt in public life who makes on the stump a pledge which he does not keep after election; and, if he makes such a pledge and does not keep it, hunt him out of public life.
在政治生活中,如果一个人在竞选时做出了不兑现的承诺,那么他就没有资格在公共生活中发挥自己的作用。如果他做出这样的承诺但不遵守,就将他从公共生活中追赶出去。
I care for the great deeds of the past chiefly as spurs to drive us onward in the present.
我关心过去的伟大事迹,主要是为了激励我们在当下继续前进。
I speak of the men of the past partly that they may be honored by our praise of them, but more that they may serve as examples for the future.
我谈论过去的人,部分是为了让他们因我们对他们的赞扬而感到荣幸,但更多的是为了让他们成为未来的榜样。
It was a heroic struggle; and, as is inevitable with all such struggles, it had also a dark and terrible side.
这是一场英勇的斗争;而且,正如所有此类斗争不可避免的那样,它也有黑暗和可怕的一面。
Very much was done of good, and much also of evil; and, as was inevitable in such a period of revolution, often the same man did both good and evil.
行善的事很多,作恶的事也很多。而且,在这样一个革命时期,同一个人常常既行善又作恶,这是不可避免的。
For our great good fortune as a nation, we, the people of the United States as a whole, can now afford to forget the evil, or, at least, to remember it without bitterness, and to fix our eyes with pride only on the good that was accomplished.
为了我们作为一个国家的巨大福祉,我们,整个美国人民,现在可以忘记罪恶,或者至少,不带痛苦地记住它,并自豪地只关注所取得的善行。
Even in ordinary times there are very few of us who do not see the problems of life as through a glass, darkly; and when the glass is clouded by the murk of furious popular passion, the vision of the best and the bravest is dimmed.
即使在平时,我们中也很少有人不透过玻璃、黑暗地看待生活中的问题。当愤怒的大众激情笼罩着玻璃杯时,最优秀、最勇敢的人的视野就会变得黯淡。
Looking back, we are all of us now able to do justice to the valor and the disinterestedness and the love of the right, as to each it was given to see the right, shown both by the men of the North and the men of the South in that contest which was finally decided by the attitude of the West.
回顾过去,我们所有人现在都能够公正地对待正义的勇敢、无私和热爱,因为每个人都被赋予了看到正义的权利,北方人和南方人在这场最终由西方态度决定的竞赛中都表现出了这一点。
We can admire the heroic valor, the sincerity, the self-devotion shown alike by the men who wore the blue and the men who wore the gray; and our sadness that such men should have had to fight one another is tempered by the glad knowledge that ever hereafter their descendants shall be found fighting side by side, struggling in peace as well as in war for the uplift of their common country, all alike resolute to raise to the highest pitch of honor and usefulness the nation to which they all belong.
我们可以钦佩那些穿蓝色衣服的人和穿灰色衣服的人所表现出的英雄气概、真诚和自我奉献;我们对这些人不得不互相争斗感到悲伤,但我们欣喜地知道,从今往后,他们的子孙将并肩作战,在和平和战争中为共同国家的发展而奋斗,所有人都决心将他们所属的国家提升到最高的荣誉和有用程度。
As for the veterans of the Grand Army of the Republic, they deserve honor and recognition such as is paid to no other citizens of the Republic; for to them the republic owes its all; for to them it owes its very existence.
对于共和国大军的退伍军人来说,他们应该得到其他共和国公民所没有的荣誉和认可;因为共和国的一切都归功于他们;因为它的存在归功于他们。
It is because of what you and your comrades did in the dark years that we of to-day walk, each of us, head erect, and proud that we belong, not to one of a dozen little squabbling contemptible commonwealths, but to the mightiest nation upon which the sun shines.
正是因为你们和你们的同志们在黑暗岁月中所做的一切,我们今天才昂首挺胸、自豪地走在路上,我们不属于十几个争吵不休、可鄙的联邦之一,而是属于阳光普照的最强大的国家。
I do not speak of this struggle of the past merely from the historic standpoint.
我并不是仅仅从历史的角度来谈论过去的这场斗争。
Our interest is primarily in the application to-day of the lessons taught by the contest of half a century ago.
我们的兴趣主要在于将半个世纪前的竞赛所学到的教训应用到今天。
It is of little use for us to pay lip-loyalty to the mighty men of the past unless we sincerely endeavor to apply to the problems of the present precisely the qualities which in other crises enabled the men of that day to meet those crises.
除非我们真诚地努力将那些在其他危机中使当时的人们能够应对这些危机的品质运用到当前的问题上,否则,我们在口头上对过去的伟人表示忠诚是没有多大用处的。
It is half melancholy and half amusing to see the way in which well-meaning people gather to do honor to the men who, in company with John Brown, and under the lead of Abraham Lincoln, faced and solved the great problems of the nineteenth century, while, at the same time, these same good people nervously shrink from, or frantically denounce, those who are trying to meet the problems of the twentieth century in the spirit which was accountable for the successful solution of the problems of Lincoln's time.
看到善意的人们聚集在一起,向那些与约翰·布朗一起,在亚伯拉罕·林肯的领导下,面对并解决了十九世纪的重大问题的人们表示敬意,同时,这些好心人却对那些试图以成功解决林肯时代问题的精神来解决二十世纪问题的人感到紧张退缩或疯狂地谴责,这是半忧郁半有趣的。
Of that generation of men to whom we owe so much, the man to whom we owe most is, of course, Lincoln.
在我们深受恩惠的那一代人中,我们最受恩惠的人当然是林肯。
Part of our debt to him is because he forecast our present struggle and saw the way out.
我们欠他的部分原因是他预见到了我们目前的困境并找到了出路。
He said:
他说:
"I hold that while man exists it is his duty to improve not only his own condition, but to assist in ameliorating mankind."
“我认为,当人存在时,他的责任不仅是改善自己的状况,而且有责任帮助改善人类。”
"Labor is prior to, and independent of, capital.
“劳动先于且独立于资本。
Capital is only the fruit of labor, and could never have ' existed if labor had not first existed.
资本只是劳动的成果,如果劳动不首先存在,资本就不可能存在。
Labor is the superior of capital, and deserves much the higher consideration."
劳动力比资本优越,应该得到更高的考虑。”
If that remark was original with me, I should be even more strongly denounced as a Communist agitator than I shall be anyhow.
如果这句话是我原创的,那么我应该被更强烈地谴责为共产主义煽动者。
It is Lincoln's.
这是林肯的。
I am only quoting it; and that is one side; that is the side the capitalist should hear.
我只是引用它;那是一方面;这是资本家应该听到的一面。
Now, let the working man hear his side.
现在,让工人听听他的观点。
"Capital has its rights, which are as worthy of protection as any other rights.
“资本有其权利,这些权利与任何其他权利一样值得保护。
.
。
.
。
.
。
Nor should this lead to a war upon the owners of property.
这也不应该导致针对财产所有者的战争。
Property is the fruit of labor; .
财产是劳动成果; 。
.
。
.
。
property is desirable; is a positive good in the world."
财产是可取的;是世界上积极的好事。”
And then comes a thoroughly Lincolnlike sentence:
然后是一句完全林肯式的句子:
"Let not him who is houseless pull down the house of another, but let him work diligently and build one for himself, thus by example assuring that his own shall be safe from violence when built."
“无家可归的人不要拆毁别人的房子,而要勤奋工作,为自己建造一所房子,从而以身作则,确保自己的房子在建造时免受暴力侵害。”
It seems to me that, in these words, Lincoln took substantially the attitude that we ought to take; he showed the proper sense of proportion in his relative estimates of capital and labor, of human rights and property rights.
在我看来,林肯的这句话基本上采取了我们应该采取的态度;他对资本和劳动力、人权和财产权的相对估计表现出了正确的比例感。
Above all, in this speech, as in many others, he taught a lesson in wise kindliness and charity; an indispensable lesson to us of to-day.
最重要的是,在这次演讲中,就像在其他许多演讲中一样,他在明智的仁慈和慈善方面上了一课。对我们今天来说,这是一个不可或缺的教训。
But this wise kindliness and charity never weakened his arm or numbed his heart.
但这种明智的仁慈和慈善从未削弱他的手臂或麻痹他的心。
We cannot afford weakly to blind ourselves to the actual conflict which faces us to-day.
我们不能软弱地对我们今天面临的实际冲突视而不见。
The issue is joined, and we must fight or fail.
问题已经解决了,我们必须战斗,否则就会失败。
In every wise struggle for human betterment one of the main objects, and often the only object, has been to achieve in large measure equality of opportunity.
在每一次为人类进步而进行的明智斗争中,主要目标之一,而且往往是唯一的目标,都是在很大程度上实现机会平等。
In the struggle for this great end, nations rise from barbarism to civilization, and through it people press forward from one stage of enlightenment to the next.
在为这一伟大目标而奋斗的过程中,民族从野蛮走向文明,人们也由此从一个启蒙阶段迈向下一阶段。
One of the chief factors in progress is the destruction of special privilege.
进步的主要因素之一是特权的破坏。
The essence of any struggle for healthy liberty has always been, and must always be, to take from some one man or class of men the right to enjoy power, or wealth, or position, or immunity, which has not been earned by service to his or their fellows.
任何争取健康自由的斗争的本质始终是,也必须始终是,从某个人或某个阶层的人手中夺走享有权力、财富、地位或豁免权的权利,而这些权利并不是通过为他或他们的同胞服务而获得的。
That is what you fought for in the Civil War, and that is what we strive for now.
这就是你们在内战中为之奋斗的目标,这也是我们现在为之奋斗的目标。
At many stages in the advance of humanity, this conflict between the men who possess more than they have earned and the men who have earned more than they possess is the central condition of progress.
在人类进步的许多阶段,拥有多于挣得的人和挣得多的人之间的冲突是进步的核心条件。
In our day it appears as the struggle of freemen to gain and hold the right of self-government as against the special interest, who twist the methods of free government into machinery for defeating the popular will.
在我们今天,它表现为自由人为获得和保持自治权而反对特殊利益集团的斗争,特殊利益集团将自由政府的方法扭曲成击败民意的机器。
At every stage, and under all circumstances, the essence of the struggle is to equalize opportunity, destroy privilege, and give to the life and citizenship of every individual the highest possible value both to himself and to the commonwealth.
在每个阶段、在任何情况下,斗争的本质是平等机会、摧毁特权,并赋予每个人的生命和公民身份对他自己和国家尽可能高的价值。
That is nothing new.
这不是什么新鲜事。
All I ask in civil life is what you fought for in the Civil War.
我在公民生活中所要求的只是你在内战中为了什么而战。
I ask that civil life be carried on according to the spirit in which the army was carried on.
我要求公民生活按照军队的精神进行。
You never get perfect justice, but the effort in handling the army was to bring to the front the men who could do the job.
你永远不会得到完美的正义,但管理军队的努力就是把能胜任这项工作的人带到前线。
Nobody grudged promotion to Grant, or Sherman, or Thomas, or Sheridan, because they earned it.
没有人不愿意晋升格兰特、谢尔曼、托马斯或谢里登,因为这是他们应得的。
The only complaint was when a man got promotion which he did not earn.
唯一的抱怨是当一个人获得了他没有获得的晋升时。
Practical equality of opportunity for all citizens, when we achieve it, will have two great results.
当我们实现所有公民的实际机会平等时,将产生两个巨大的成果。
First, every man will have a fair chance to make of himself all that in him lies; to reach the highest point to which his capacities, unassisted by special privilege of his own and unhampered by the special privilege of others, can carry him, and to get for himself and his family substantially what he has earned.
首先,每个人都有公平的机会发挥自己的全部才能;达到他的能力所能达到的最高点,不受他自己的特权的帮助,也不受他人特权的阻碍,并为他自己和他的家人获得他所赢得的实质利益。
Second, equality of opportunity means that the commonwealth will get from every citizen the highest service of which he is capable.
其次,机会平等意味着联邦将从每个公民那里获得其能力范围内的最高服务。
No man who carries the burden of the special privileges of another can give to the commonwealth that service to which it is fairly entitled.
任何一个承担着他人特权的人都无法为国家提供其应有的服务。
I stand for the square deal.
我主张公平交易。
But when I say that I am for the square deal, I mean not merely that I stand for fair play under the present rules of the game, but that I stand for having those rules changed so as to work for a more substantial equality of opportunity and of reward for equally good service.
但是,当我说我支持公平交易时,我的意思不仅是我主张在现行游戏规则下公平竞争,而且我主张改变这些规则,以便为同样优质的服务提供更实质性的机会和回报平等。
One word of warning, which, I think, is hardly necessary in Kansas.
一句警告,我认为在堪萨斯州几乎没有必要。
When I say I want a square deal for the poor man, I do not mean that I want a square deal for the man who remains poor because he has not got the energy to work for himself.
当我说我希望为穷人提供公平的待遇时,我并不是说我希望为那些因为没有精力为自己工作而仍然贫穷的人提供公平的待遇。
If a man who has had a chance will not make good, then he has got to quit.
如果一个人曾经有过机会但没有成功,那么他就必须放弃。
And you men of the Grand Army, you want justice for the brave man who fought, and punishment for the coward who shirked his work.
你们伟大军队的人们,你们希望为那些战斗的勇敢者伸张正义,并惩罚那些逃避工作的懦夫。
Is not that so ?
不是这样吗?
Now, this means that our government, National and State, must be freed from the sinister influence or control of special interests.
现在,这意味着我们的政府,无论是国家政府还是州政府,都必须摆脱特殊利益集团的邪恶影响或控制。
Exactly as the special interests of cotton and slavery threatened our political integrity before the Civil War, so now the great special business interests too often control and corrupt the men and methods of government for their own profit.
正如内战之前棉花和奴隶制的特殊利益威胁着我们的政治完整性一样,现在巨大的特殊商业利益也常常为了自身利益而控制和腐蚀政府的人员和方法。
We must drive the special interests out of politics.
我们必须将特殊利益排除在政治之外。
That is one of our tasks to-day.
这是我们今天的任务之一。
Every special interest is entitled to justice—full, fair, and complete—and, now, mind you, if there were any attempt by mob-violence to plunder and work harm to the special interest, whatever it may be, that I most dislike, and the wealthy man, whomsoever he may be, for whom I have the greatest contempt, I would fight for him, and you would if you were worth your salt.
每一种特殊利益都有权获得正义——充分、公平和彻底——现在,请注意,如果有人企图通过暴民暴力来掠夺和伤害我最不喜欢的特殊利益,无论它是什么,而我最鄙视的富人,无论他是谁,我都会为他而战,如果你值得的话,你也会为他而战。
He should have justice.
他应该伸张正义。
For every special interest is entitled to justice, but not one is entitled to a vote in Congress, to a voice on the bench, or to representation in any public office.
因为每一个特殊利益集团都有权获得正义,但没有人有权在国会投票、在法官席上发言或在任何公职中拥有代表权。
The Constitution guarantees protection to property, and we must make that promise good.
宪法保障对财产的保护,我们必须兑现这一承诺。
But it does not give the right of suffrage to any corporation.
但它并没有赋予任何公司选举权。
The true friend of property, the true conservative, is he who insists that property shall be the servant and not the master of the commonwealth; who insists that the creature of man's making shall be the servant and not the master of the man who made it.
财产的真正朋友,真正的保守派,是那些坚持财产应成为国家的仆人而不是主人的人;他坚持认为,人类创造的生物应该是创造它的人的仆人,而不是主人。
The citizens of the United States must effectively control the mighty commercial forces which they have themselves called into being.
美国公民必须有效地控制他们自己创造的强大商业力量。
There can be no effective control of corporations while their political activity remains.
当企业的政治活动仍然存在时,就不可能对它们进行有效的控制。
To put an end to it will be neither a short nor an easy task, but it can be done.
结束它既不是一件短期的事,也不是一件容易的事,但它是可以做到的。
We must have complete and effective publicity of corporate affairs, so that the people may know beyond peradventure whether the corporations obey the law and whether their management entitles them to the confidence of the public.
要把企业事务公开全面、有效,让人民群众随时了解企业是否守法、管理是否取信于民。
It is necessary that laws should be passed to prohibit the use of corporate funds directly or indirectly for political purposes; it is still more necessary that such laws should be thoroughly enforced.
有必要通过法律禁止企业资金直接或间接用于政治目的;更需要彻底执行这些法律。
Corporate expenditures for political purposes, and especially such expenditures by public-service corporations, have supplied one of the principal sources of corruption in our political affairs.
出于政治目的的公司支出,特别是公共服务公司的此类支出,是我们政治事务中腐败的主要来源之一。
It has become entirely clear that we must have government supervision of the capitalization, not only of public-service corporations, including, particularly, railways, but of all corporations doing an .interstate business.
已经完全清楚的是,我们必须对资本化进行政府监督,不仅是公共服务公司(特别是铁路)的资本化,而且是所有从事州际业务的公司的资本化。
I do not wish to see the nation forced into the ownership of the railways if it can possibly be avoided, and the only alternative is thoroughgoing and effective regulation, which shall be based on a full knowledge of all the facts, including a physical valuation of property.
如果可以避免的话,我不希望看到国家被迫拥有铁路,唯一的选择是彻底和有效的监管,这应基于对所有事实的充分了解,包括对财产的实际评估。
This physical valuation is not needed, or, at least, is very rarely needed, for fixing rates; but it is needed as the basis of honest capitalization.
对于固定利率而言,这种实物估值是不需要的,或者至少很少需要;但它是诚实资本化的基础。
We have come to recognize that franchises should never be granted except for a limited time, and never without proper provision for compensation to the public.
我们已经认识到,除非在有限的时间内,否则绝不应授予特许经营权,并且在没有向公众提供适当补偿的情况下绝不应授予特许经营权。
It is my personal belief that the same kind and degree of control and supervision which should be exercised over public-service corporations should be extended also to combinations which control necessaries of life, such as meat, oil, and coal, or which deal in them on an important scale.
我个人认为,对公共服务公司应实行同样种类和程度的控制和监督,也应扩大到控制肉类、石油和煤炭等生活必需品或进行大规模交易的联合体。
I have no doubt that the ordinary man who has control of them is much like ourselves.
我毫不怀疑,能够控制它们的普通人很像我们自己。
I have no doubt he would like to do well, but I want to have enough supervision to help him realize that desire to do well.
我毫不怀疑他想做好,但我希望有足够的监督来帮助他实现做好的愿望。
I believe that the officers, and, especially, the directors, of corporations should be held personally responsible when any corporation breaks the law.
我认为,当任何公司违法时,公司的管理人员,特别是董事应该承担个人责任。
Combinations in industry are the result of an imperative economic law which cannot be repealed by political legislation.
工业合并是强制性经济法的结果,不能被政治立法废除。
The effort at prohibiting all combination has substantially failed.
禁止所有组合的努力基本上失败了。
The way out lies, not in attempting to prevent such combinations, but in completely controlling them in the interest of the public welfare.
出路不在于试图阻止这种结合,而在于为了公共福利的利益而完全控制它们。
For that purpose the Federal Bureau of Corporations is an agency of first importance.
为此目的,联邦公司局是最重要的机构。
Its powers, and, therefore, its efficiency, as well as that of the Interstate Commerce Commission, should be largely increased.
它的权力,因此,它的效率,以及州际商务委员会的效率,应该大大增加。
We have a right to expect from the Bureau of Corporations and from the Interstate Commerce Commission a very high grade of public service.
我们有权期望公司局和州际商务委员会提供非常高水平的公共服务。
We should be as sure of the proper conduct of the interstate railways and the proper management of interstate business as we are now sure of the conduct and management of the national banks, and we should have as effective supervision in one case as in the other.
我们应该像现在确信国家银行的行为和管理一样确信州际铁路的适当行为和州际业务的适当管理,并且我们应该对一种情况和另一种情况进行有效的监督。
The Hepburn Act, and the amendment to the act in the shape in which it finally passed Congress at the last session, represent a long step in advance, and we must go yet further.
《赫本法案》以及该法案的修正案最终在上届国会会议上获得通过,代表着向前迈出了一大步,我们必须走得更远。
There is a wide-spread belief among our people that, under the methods of making tariffs which have hitherto obtained, the special interests are too influential.
我国人民普遍认为,在迄今为止的关税制定方法下,特殊利益集团的影响力太大。
Probably this is true of both the big special interests and the little special interests.
大概无论是大的特殊利益还是小特殊利益都是如此。
These methods have put a premium on selfishness, and, naturally, the selfish big interests have gotten more than their smaller, though equally selfish, brothers.
这些方法强调了自私,自然地,自私的大利益比他们的小而同样自私的兄弟得到了更多。
The duty of Congress is to provide a method by which the interest of the whole people shall be all that receives consideration.
国会的职责是提供一种方法,使全体人民的利益成为一切考虑的因素。
To this end there must be an expert tariff commission, wholly removed from the possibility of political pressure or of improper business influence.
为此,必须有一个专家关税委员会,完全排除政治压力或不当商业影响的可能性。
Such a commission can find the real difference between cost of production, which is mainly the difference of labor cost here and abroad.
这样的委托可以发现生产成本的真正差异,主要是国内外劳动力成本的差异。
As fast as its recommendations are made, I believe in revising one schedule at a time.
我相信一旦提出建议,就应该一次修改一个时间表。
A general revision of the tariff almost inevitably leads to logrolling and the subordination of the general public interest to local and special interests.
对关税的全面修改几乎不可避免地会导致相互支持以及一般公共利益服从于地方和特殊利益。
The absence of effective State, and, especially, national, restraint upon unfair money-getting has tended to create a small class of enormously wealthy and economically powerful men, whose chief object is to hold and increase their power.
国家,特别是国家,对不公平的金钱获取缺乏有效的限制,往往会产生一小群极其富有和经济实力雄厚的人,他们的主要目标是保持和增强自己的权力。
The prime need is to change the conditions which enable these men to accumulate power which it is not for the general welfare that they should hold or exercise.
最重要的需要是改变使这些人能够积累权力的条件,而他们持有或行使的权力并不是为了公共福利。
We grudge no man a fortune which represents his own power and sagacity, when exercised with entire regard to the welfare of his fellows.
我们不会吝惜任何人拥有代表自己力量和智慧的财富,只要他在行使时完全顾及同胞的福祉。
Again, comrades over there, take the lesson from your own experience.
那边的同志们,再次吸取教训吧。
Not only did you not grudge, but you gloried in the promotion of the great generals who gained their promotion by leading the army to victory.
你们不仅没有怨恨,反而还因带领军队取得胜利而升职的大将们的晋升而感到荣耀。
So it is with us.
我们也是如此。
We grudge no man a fortune in civil life if it is honorably obtained and well used.
我们不惜任何人在公民生活中获得财富,只要它是通过光荣获得并妥善利用的。
It is not even enough that it should have been gained without doing damage to the community.
仅仅在不损害社区的情况下获得它还不够。
We should permit it to be gained only so long as the gaining represents benefit to the community.
只有当这种收益对社区有利时,我们才应该允许其获得。
This, I know, implies a policy of a far more active governmental interference with social and economic conditions in this country than we have yet had, but I think we have got to face the fact that such an increase in governmental control is now necessary.
我知道,这意味着政府对这个国家的社会和经济状况的干预比我们迄今为止所采取的要积极得多,但我认为我们必须面对这样一个事实,即现在有必要加强政府的控制。
No man should receive a dollar unless that dollar has been fairly earned.
任何人都不应获得一美元,除非该美元是公平赚取的。
Every dollar received should represent a dollar's worth of service rendered—not gambling in stocks, but service rendered.
收到的每一美元都应该代表所提供的一美元服务的价值——不是股票赌博,而是所提供的服务。
The really big fortune, the swollen fortune, by the mere fact of its size acquires qualities which differentiate it in kind as well as in degree from what is possessed by men of relatively small means.
真正的巨额财富,膨胀的财富,仅凭其规模这一事实就获得了一些品质,这些品质在种类和程度上都与财力相对较小的人所拥有的财富有所不同。
Therefore, I believe in a graduated income tax on big fortunes, and in another tax which of any American who did not try to make the American Government act as justly toward the other nations in international relations as he himself would act toward any individual in private relations.
因此,我相信对巨额财富征收累进所得税,并且相信任何美国人如果不试图使美国政府在国际关系中像他本人在私人关系中对待任何个人一样公正地对待其他国家,则应征收另一种税。
I should be heartily ashamed to see us wrong a weaker power, and I should hang my head forever if we tamely suffered wrong from a stronger power.
看到我们受到弱国的冤屈,我应该感到由衷的羞愧;如果我们温顺地遭受强国的冤屈,我应该永远低下头。
Of conservation I shall speak more at length elsewhere.
关于保护,我将在其他地方详细讨论。
Conservation means development as much as it does protection.
保护既意味着发展,也意味着保护。
I recognize the right and duty of this generation to develop and use the natural resources of our land; but I do not recognize the right to waste them, or to rob, by wasteful use, the generations that come after us.
我认识到这一代人有权利和义务开发和利用我们土地上的自然资源;但我不承认有权利浪费它们,或者通过浪费使用来掠夺我们的后代。
I ask nothing of the nation except that it so behave as each farmer here behaves with reference to his own children.
我对这个国家没有什么要求,除了它的行为就像这里每个农民对待自己孩子的行为一样。
That farmer is a poor creature who skins the land and leaves it worthless to his children.
那个农夫是个可怜的人,他剥去了土地的皮,让土地对他的孩子来说毫无价值。
The farmer is a good farmer who, having enabled the land to support himself and to provide for the education of his children, leaves it to them a little better than he found it himself.
农民是一个好农民,他让土地养活了自己,并为孩子们提供了教育,所以留给他们的土地比他自己发现的要好一点。
I believe the same thing of a nation.
我相信一个民族也是如此。
Moreover, I believe that the natural resources must be used for the benefit of all our people, and not monopolized for the benefit of the few, and here again is another case in which I am accused of taking a revolutionary attitude.
而且,我认为自然资源必须用于全体人民的利益,而不是为了少数人的利益而垄断,这又是我被指责采取革命态度的一个例子。
People forget now that one hundred years ago there were public men of good character who advocated the nation selling its public lands in great quantities, so that the nation could get the most money out of it, and giving it to the men who could cultivate it for their own uses.
人们现在忘记了,一百年前,有一些品行良好的公职人员,主张国家大量出售公有土地,以便国家从中获得最多的钱,并把它送给那些能耕种的人为自己所用。
We took the proper democratic ground that the land should be granted in small sections to the men who were actually to till it and live on it.
我们采取了适当的民主立场,即土地应该分成小块,分配给那些实际耕种和生活的人。
Now, with the water-power, with the forests, with the mines, we are brought face to face with the fact that there are many people who will go with us in conserving the resources only if they are to be allowed to exploit them for their benefit.
现在,有了水力、森林、矿山,我们不得不面对这样一个事实:许多人只有在被允许为自己的利益而开采资源的情况下才会与我们一起保护资源。
That is one of the fundamental reasons why the special interests should be driven out of politics.
这就是特殊利益集团应该被赶出政治的根本原因之一。
Of all the questions which can come before this nation, short of the actual preservation of its existence in a great war, there is none which compares in importance with the great central task of leaving this land even a better land for our descendants than it is for us, and training them into a better race to inhabit the land and pass it on.
在这个国家面临的所有问题中,除了在一场伟大的战争中实际保存其存在之外,没有什么比这个伟大的中心任务更重要的了,即为我们的后代留下比我们更好的土地,并训练他们成为更好的种族,居住在这片土地上并将其传承下去。
Conservation is a great moral issue, for it involves the patriotic duty of insuring the safety and continuance of the nation.
保护是一个重大的道德问题,因为它涉及确保国家安全和延续的爱国义务。
Let me add that the health and vitality of our people are at least as well worth conserving as their forests, waters, lands, and minerals, and in this great work the national government must bear a most important part.
让我补充一点,我们人民的健康和活力至少与他们的森林、水域、土地和矿产一样值得保护,在这项伟大的工作中,国家政府必须承担最重要的部分。
I have spoken elsewhere also of the great task which lies before the farmers of the country to get for themselves and their wives and children not only the benefits of better farming, but also those of better business methods and better conditions of life on the farm.
我在其他地方也谈到过,摆在这个国家的农民面前的一项伟大任务是,让他们自己和他们的妻子和孩子不仅能从更好的农业中获益,而且还能获得更好的商业方法和更好的农场生活条件。
The burden of this great task will fall, as it should, mainly upon the great organizations of the farmers themselves.
这项伟大任务的重任将主要落在农民本身的伟大组织身上,这是理所应当的。
I am glad it will, for I believe they are all well able to handle it.
我很高兴它会发生,因为我相信他们都能很好地处理它。
In particular, there are strong reasons why the Departments of Agriculture of the various States, the United States Department of Agriculture, and the agricultural colleges and experiment stations should extend their work to cover all phases of farm life, instead of limiting themselves, as they have far too often limited themselves in the past, solely to the question of the production of crops.
特别是,各州农业部、美国农业部以及农业学院和实验站有充分的理由将其工作扩展到农场生活的各个阶段,而不是像过去那样将自己限制在作物生产问题上。
And now a special word to the farmer.
现在要对农民说一句特别的话。
I want to see him make the farm as fine a farm as it can be made; and let him remember to see that the improvement goes on indoors as well as out; let him remember that the farmer's wife should have her share of thought and attention just as much as the farmer himself.
我希望看到他把农场打造成尽可能好的农场;让他记住要看到室内和室外都有改善;让他记住,农夫的妻子应该像农夫本人一样得到她的思考和关注。
Nothing is more true than that excess of every kind is followed by reaction; a fact which should be pondered by reformer and reactionary alike.
没有什么比任何一种过度都会带来反应更真实的了。这是改革者和反动者都应该思考的事实。
We are face to face with new conceptions of the relations of property to human welfare, chiefly because certain advocates of the rights of property as against the rights of men have been pushing their claims too far.
我们面临着财产与人类福利关系的新概念,主要是因为某些主张财产权而不是人权的主张太过分了。
The man who wrongly holds that every human right is secondary to his profit must now give way to the advocate of human welfare, who rightly maintains that every man holds his property subject to the general right of the community to regulate its use to whatever degree the public welfare may require it.
那些错误地认为每项人权都比他的利润次要的人现在必须让位于人类福利的倡导者,后者正确地主张,每个人拥有自己的财产,并服从于社会的普遍权利,以公共福利可能需要的任何程度来规范其使用。
But I think we may go still further.
但我认为我们还可以走得更远。
The right to regulate the use of wealth in the public interest is universally admitted.
为了公共利益而规范财富使用的权利是普遍承认的。
Let us admit also the right to regulate the terms and conditions of labor, which is the chief element of wealth, directly in the interest of the common good.
让我们也承认直接为了共同利益而调节劳动条款和条件的权利,这是财富的主要要素。
The fundamental thing to do for every man is to give him a chance to reach a place in which he will make the greatest possible contribution to the public welfare.
对每个人来说,最根本的事情就是给他一个机会,让他能够为公共福利做出最大的贡献。
Understand what I say there.
明白我在那里说的话。
Give him a chance, not push him up if he will not be pushed.
给他一个机会,如果他不被推,就不要推他。
Help any man who stumbles; if he lies down, it is a poor job to try to carry him; but if he is a worthy man, try your best to see that he gets a chance to show the worth that is in him.
帮助跌倒的人;如果他躺着,那么试图抱他是一件很糟糕的工作。但如果他是一个有价值的人,请尽力让他有机会展示他的价值。
No man can be a good citizen unless he has a wage more than sufficient to cover the bare cost of living, and hours of labor short enough so that after his day's work is done he will have time and energy to bear his share in the management of the community, to help in carrying the general load.
任何人都不能成为一个好公民,除非他的工资足以支付基本生活费用,并且工作时间足够短,以便在完成一天的工作后,他将有时间和精力承担社区管理中的一部分,帮助承担一般负担。
We keep countless men from being good citizens by the conditions of life with which we surround them.
我们周围的生活条件使无数人无法成为好公民。
We need comprehensive workmen's compensation acts, both State and national laws to regulate child labor and work for women, and, especially, we need in our common schools not merely education in book-learning, but also practical training for daily life and work.
我们需要全面的工人赔偿法、州法律和国家法律来规范童工和妇女工作,特别是,我们的普通学校不仅需要书本教育,还需要日常生活和工作的实践培训。
We need to enforce better sanitary conditions for our workers and to extend the use of safety appliances for our workers in industry and commerce, both within and between the States.
我们需要为我们的工人提供更好的卫生条件,并在州内和州际之间扩大工商业工人安全设备的使用。
Also, friends, in the interest of the working man himself we need to set our faces like flint against mob-violence just as against corporate greed; against violence and injustice and lawlessness by wage-workers just as much as against lawless cunning and greed and selfish arrogance of employers.
另外,朋友们,为了工人本身的利益,我们需要坚定地反对暴民暴力,就像反对企业的贪婪一样;反对雇佣工人的暴力、不公正和无法无天,就像反对雇主无法无天的狡诈、贪婪和自私傲慢一样。
If I could ask but one thing of my fellow countrymen, my request would be that, whenever they go in for reform, they remember the two sides, and that they always exact justice from one side as much as from the other.
如果我只能问我的同胞一件事,我的要求是,每当他们进行改革时,他们要记住两侧,并且总是从一侧和另一侧伸张正义。
I have small use for the public servant who can always see and denounce the corruption of the capitalist, but who cannot persuade himself, especially before election, to say a word about lawless mob-violence.
我对公务员的用处不大,他们总是能够看到并谴责资本家的腐败,但却无法说服自己,特别是在选举之前,对无法无天的暴民暴力说一句话。
And I have equally small use for the man, be he a judge on the bench, or editor of a great paper, or wealthy and influential private citizen, who can see clearly enough and denounce the lawlessness of mob-violence, but whose eyes are closed so that he is blind when the question is one of corruption in business on a gigantic scale.
我对这个人的用处同样不大,无论他是法官席上的法官,还是一份伟大报纸的编辑,还是富有且有影响力的普通公民,他们可以看得足够清楚并谴责暴徒暴力的无法无天,但当问题是大规模的商业腐败时,他却闭着眼睛,以致盲目。
Also remember what I said about excess in reformer and reactionary alike.
还要记住我所说的关于改革派和反动派的过度行为。
If the reactionary man, who thinks of nothing but the rights of property, could have his way, he would bring about a revolution; and one of my chief fears in connection with progress comes because I do not want to see our people, for lack of proper leadership, compelled to follow men whose intentions are excellent, but whose eyes are a little too wild to make it really safe to trust them.
如果那些只考虑财产权的反动者能够为所欲为,他就会带来一场革命;我对进步的主要恐惧之一是因为我不想看到我们的人民由于缺乏适当的领导而被迫追随那些意图良好但目光过于狂野的人,以至于无法真正安全地信任他们。
Here in Kansas there is one paper which habitually denounces me as the tool of Wall Street, and at the same time frantically repudiates the statement that I am a Socialist on the ground that that is an unwarranted slander of the Socialists.
在堪萨斯州,有一份报纸习惯性地指责我是华尔街的工具,同时又疯狂地否认我是社会主义者的说法,理由是这是对社会主义者的无端诽谤。
National efficiency has many factors.
国家效率有很多因素。
It is a necessary result of the principle of conservation widely applied.
这是节约原则广泛应用的必然结果。
In the end it will determine our failure or success as a nation.
最终它将决定我们作为一个国家的成败。
National efficiency has to do, not only with natural resources and with men, but it is equally concerned with institutions.
国家效率不仅与自然资源和人有关,而且同样与制度有关。
The State must be made efficient for the work which concerns only the people of the State; and the nation for that which concerns all the people.
国家必须高效地开展只涉及国家人民的工作;为国家、为全体人民。
There must remain no neutral ground to serve as a refuge for lawbreakers, and especially for lawbreakers of great wealth, who can hire the vulpine legal cunning which will teach them how to avoid both jurisdictions.
不能保留任何中立的地方作为不法分子的避难所,特别是对于那些拥有巨额财富的不法分子来说,他们可以雇用狡猾的法律狡猾者,这将教会他们如何避开这两个司法管辖区。
It is a misfortune when the national legislature fails to do its duty in providing a national remedy, so that the only national activity is the purely negative activity of the judiciary in forbidding the State to exercise power in the premises.
国家立法机关未能履行其提供国家补救措施的职责,因此唯一的国家活动就是司法机构禁止国家在其场所行使权力的纯粹消极活动,这是一种不幸。
I do not ask for overcentralization; but I do ask that we work in a spirit of broad and far-reaching nationalism when we work for what concerns our people as a whole.
我不要求过度集权;但我确实要求我们在为全体人民所关心的事情而努力时,本着广泛而深远的民族主义精神。
We are all Americans.
我们都是美国人。
Our common interests are as broad as the continent.
我们的共同利益与非洲大陆一样广泛。
I speak to you here in Kansas exactly as I would speak in New York or Georgia, for the most vital problems are those which affect us all alike.
我在堪萨斯州对你们讲话就像在纽约或佐治亚州一样,因为最重要的问题是那些影响我们所有人的问题。
The National Government belongs to the whole American people, and where the whole American people are interested, that interest can be guarded effectively only by the National Government.
国家政府属于全体美国人民,而全体美国人民感兴趣的地方,只有国家政府才能有效维护这种利益。
The betterment which we seek must be accomplished, I believe, mainly through the National Government.
我认为,我们所寻求的改善必须主要通过国民政府来实现。
The American people are right in demanding that New Nationalism, without which we cannot hope to deal with new problems.
美国人民要求新民族主义是正确的,没有它我们就无法解决新问题。
The New Nationalism puts the national need before sectional or personal advantage.
新民族主义将民族需要置于部门或个人利益之上。
It is impatient of the utter confusion that results from local legislatures attempting to treat national issues as local issues.
它对地方立法机构试图将国家问题视为地方问题而造成的彻底混乱感到不耐烦。
It is still more impatient of the impotence which springs from overdivision of governmental powers, the impotence which makes it possible for local selfishness or for legal cunning, hired by wealthy special interests, to bring national activities to a deadlock.
它更不耐烦的是由于政府权力的过度划分而导致的无能,这种无能使得地方自私或受富有的特殊利益集团雇佣的法律狡猾使国家活动陷入僵局。
This New Nationalism regards the executive power as the steward of the public welfare.
这种新民族主义将行政权视为公共福利的管家。
It demands of the judiciary that it shall be interested primarily in human welfare rather than in property, just as it demands that the representative body shall represent all the people rather than any one class or section of the people.
它要求司法机关首先关心人类福祉而不是财产,正如它要求代表机构代表全体人民而不是某一阶级或某一部分人民一样。
I believe in shaping the ends of government to protect property as well as human welfare.
我相信塑造政府的目标是保护财产和人类福祉。
Normally, and in the long run, the ends are the same; but whenever the alternative must be faced, I am for men and not for property, as you were in the Civil War.
通常,从长远来看,结果都是一样的。但每当必须面对另一种选择时,我支持的是人,而不是财产,就像你在内战时那样。
I am far from underestimating the importance of dividends; but I rank dividends below human character.
我远没有低估股息的重要性。但我将红利置于人性之上。
Again, I do not have any sympathy with the reformer who says he does not care for dividends.
再说一次,我对那些说他不关心股息的改革者没有任何同情。
Of course, economic welfare is necessary, for a man must pull his own weight and be able to support his family.
当然,经济福利是必要的,因为一个人必须自力更生,能够养家糊口。
I know well that the reformers must not bring upon the people economic ruin, or the reforms themselves will go down in the ruin.
我深知,改革者决不能给人民带来经济毁灭,否则改革本身就会在毁灭中失败。
But we must be ready to face temporary disaster, whether or not brought on by those who will war against us to the knife.
但我们必须做好面对暂时灾难的准备,无论这些灾难是否是由那些会用刀与我们作战的人造成的。
Those who oppose all reform will do well to remember that ruin in its worst form is inevitable if our national life brings us nothing better than swollen fortunes for the few and the triumph in both politics and business of a sordid and selfish materialism.
那些反对一切改革的人最好记住,如果我们的国家生活只给我们带来少数人的财富膨胀以及肮脏和自私的唯物主义在政治和商业上的胜利,那么最糟糕的毁灭是不可避免的。
If our political institutions were perfect, they would absolutely prevent the political domination of money in any part of our affairs.
如果我们的政治制度是完美的,它们绝对可以防止金钱在我们事务的任何部分中进行政治统治。
We need to make our political representatives more quickly and sensitively responsive to the people whose servants they are.
我们需要让我们的政治代表更快、更敏感地响应人民的公仆。
More direct action by the people in their own affairs under proper safeguards is vitally necessary.
人民在适当保障下对自己的事务采取更直接的行动是极其必要的。
The direct primary is a step in this direction, if it is associated with a corrupt-practices act effective to prevent the advantage of the man willing recklessly and unscrupulously to spend money over his more honest competitor.
直接初选是朝这个方向迈出的一步,如果它与有效防止那些愿意鲁莽和不择手段地花钱而不是更诚实的竞争对手的人的腐败行为行为相关联。
It is particularly important that all moneys received or expended for campaign purposes should be publicly accounted for, not only after election, but before election as well.
尤其重要的是,为竞选目的收到或支出的所有资金都应公开核算,不仅在选举之后,而且在选举之前也是如此。
Political action must be made simpler, easier, and freer from confusion for every citizen.
政治行动必须变得更简单、更容易,对每个公民来说都不会感到困惑。
I believe that the prompt removal of unfaithful or incompetent public servants should be made easy and sure in whatever way experience shall show to be most expedient in any given class of cases.
我认为,无论在任何特定类别的情况下,经验表明最有利的方式,迅速罢免不忠诚或不称职的公务员都应该变得容易和确定。
One of the fundamental necessities in a representative government such as ours is to make certain that the men to whom the people delegate their power shall serve the people by whom they are elected, and not the special interests.
像我们这样的代议制政府的基本必要性之一是确保人民授予权力的人为选举他们的人民服务,而不是为特殊利益服务。
I believe that every national officer, elected or appointed, should be forbidden to perform any service or receive any compensation, directly or indirectly, from interstate corporations; and a similar provision could not fail to be useful within the States.
我认为,每一位当选或任命的国家官员都应该被禁止直接或间接地从州际公司提供任何服务或接受任何报酬;类似的规定在各国内部也必定有用。
The object of government is the welfare of the people.
政府的目标是人民的福祉。
The material progress and prosperity of a nation are desirable chiefly so far as they lead to the moral and material welfare of all good citizens.
一个国家的物质进步和繁荣是令人向往的,主要是因为它们能带来所有好公民的道德和物质福利。
Just in proportion as the average man and woman are honest, capable of sound judgment and high ideals, active in public affairs—but, first of all, sound in their home life, and the father and mother of healthy children whom they bring up well—just so far, and no farther, we may count our civilization a success.
只要普通男人和女人诚实,有正确的判断力和崇高的理想,积极参与公共事务——但首先,他们的家庭生活健全,并且是他们养育的健康孩子的父母——就目前而言,仅此而已,我们就可以认为我们的文明是成功的。
We must have—I believe we have already—a genuine and permanent moral awakening, without which no wisdom of legislation or administration really means anything; and, on the other hand, we must try to secure the social and economic legislation without which any improvement due to purely moral agitation is necessarily evanescent.
我们必须——我相信我们已经——真正的、永久的道德觉醒,没有这种觉醒,立法或行政的智慧就没有任何意义。另一方面,我们必须努力确保社会和经济立法,没有这种立法,纯粹的道德鼓动带来的任何进步都必然会消失。
Let me again illustrate by a reference to the Grand Army.
让我再次以大军为例来说明。
You could not have won simply as a disorderly and disorganized mob.
仅仅作为一群无序、无组织的暴徒,你不可能获胜。
You needed generals; you needed careful administration of the most advanced type; and a good commissary—the cracker line.
你需要将军;您需要仔细管理最高级的类型;还有一个好的小卖部——饼干生产线。
You well remember that success was necessary in many different lines in order to bring about general success.
您清楚地记得,为了实现普遍的成功,许多不同领域的成功是必要的。
You had to have the administration at Washington good, just as you had to have the administration in the field; and you had to have the work of the generals good.
华盛顿的政府必须有良好的管理,就像外地的政府必须有良好的管理一样。而且你必须让将军们做好工作。
You could not have triumphed without that administration and leadership; but it would all have been worthless if the average soldier had not had the right stuff in him.
如果没有这种管理和领导,你们就不可能取得胜利;但如果普通士兵身上没有合适的东西,那么一切都毫无价值。
He had to have the right stuff in him, or you could not get it out of him.
他身上必须有正确的东西,否则你无法从他身上得到它。
In the last analysis, therefore, vitally necessary though it was to have the right kind of organization and the right kind of generalship, it was even more vitally necessary that the average soldier should have the fighting edge, the right character.
因此,归根结底,虽然最需要的是正确的组织和正确的指挥,但更重要的是,普通士兵应该具有战斗力和正确的性格。
So it is in our civil life.
我们的公民生活也是如此。
No matter how honest and decent we are in our private lives, if we do not have the right kind of law and the right kind of administration of the law, we cannot go forward as a nation.
无论我们在私人生活中多么诚实和正派,如果我们没有正确的法律和正确的法律管理,我们作为一个国家就无法前进。
That is imperative; but it must be an addition to, and not a substitution for, the qualities that make us good citizens.
这是势在必行的;但这必须是对我们成为好公民的品质的补充,而不是替代。
In the last analysis, the most important elements in any man's career must be the sum of those qualities which, in the aggregate, we speak of as character.
归根结底,任何人的职业生涯中最重要的因素必定是那些品质的总和,总的来说,我们称之为品格。
If he has not got it, then no law that the wit of man can devise, no administration of the law by the boldest and strongest executive, will avail to help him.
如果他没有得到它,那么人的智慧所能制定的任何法律,最大胆和最强大的行政部门的法律管理,都无法帮助他。
We must have the right kind of character—character that makes a man, first of all, a good man in the home, a good father, a good husband—that makes a man a good neighbor.
我们必须拥有正确的品格——首先,这种品格使一个人成为一个好家庭主妇、一个好父亲、一个好丈夫——使一个人成为一个好邻居。
You must have that, and, then, in addition, you must have the kind of law and the kind of administration of the law which will give to those qualities in the private citizen the best possible chance for development.
你必须拥有这一点,此外,你还必须拥有能够为普通公民的这些品质提供最佳发展机会的法律和法律管理方式。
The prime problem of our nation is to get the right type of good citizenship, and, to get it, we must have progress, and our public men must be genuinely progressive.
我们国家的首要问题是获得正确类型的良好公民身份,为了获得这种公民身份,我们必须取得进步,而我们的公职人员必须真正进步。
