Fundamental Principle of a Republic -- Anna Howard Shaw
delivered 21 June 1915, Ogdenburg, New York
1915 年 6 月 21 日交付于纽约州奥格登堡
When I came into your hall tonight, I thought of the last time I was in your city.
今晚当我走进你的大厅时，我想起了上次来你的城市时的情景。
Twenty-one years ago I came here with Susan B.
二十一年前，我和 Susan B. 一起来到这里。
Anthony, and we came for exactly the same purpose as that for which we are here tonight.
安东尼，我们来这里的目的与今晚我们来这里的目的完全相同。
Boys have been born since that time and have become voters, and the women are still trying to persuade American men to believe in the fundamental principles of democracy, and I never quite feel as if it was a fair field to argue this question with men, because in doing it you have to assume that a man who professes to believe in a Republican form of government does not believe in a Republican form of government, for the only thing that woman's enfranchisement means at all is that a government which claims to be a Republic should be a Republic, and not an aristocracy.
从那时起，男孩就出生了，并成为了选民，而妇女们仍在试图说服美国男人相信民主的基本原则，我从来不觉得与男人争论这个问题是一个公平的领域，因为在这样做时，你必须假设一个自称相信共和党形式的政府的男人并不相信共和党形式的政府，因为妇女获得选举权的唯一意义在于，一个自称是共和国的政府应该是一个共和国，而不是贵族。
The difficulty with discussing this question with those who oppose us is that they make any number of arguments but none of them have anything to do with Woman's Suffrage; they always have something to do with something else, therefore the arguments which we have to make rarely ever have anything to do with the subject, because we have to answer our opponents who always escape the subject as far as possible in order to have any sort of reason in connection with what they say.
与那些反对我们的人讨论这个问题的困难在于，他们提出了很多论点，但没有一个与妇女选举权有任何关系；他们总是与其他事情有关，因此我们必须提出的论点很少与主题有任何关系，因为我们必须回答我们的对手，他们总是尽可能地逃避主题，以便与他们所说的有任何联系。
Now one of two things is true: either a Republic is a desirable form of government, or else it is not.
现在有两件事是正确的：共和国要么是理想的政府形式，要么不是。
If it is, then we should have it, if it is not then we ought not to pretend that we have it.
如果是，那么我们应该拥有它，如果不是，那么我们不应该假装我们拥有它。
We ought at least be true to our ideals, and the men of New York have for the first time in their lives, the rare opportunity on the second day of next November, of making the state truly a part of the Republic.
我们至少应该忠于我们的理想，而纽约人一生中第一次，也就是明年 11 月的第二天，就有了难得的机会，让纽约州真正成为共和国的一部分。
It is the greatest opportunity which has ever come to the men of the state.
对于这个国家的人们来说，这是有史以来最伟大的机会。
They have never had so serious a problem to solve before, they will never have a more serious problem to solve in any future of our nation's life, and the thing that disturbs me more than anything else in connection with it is that so few people realize what a profound problem they have to solve on November 2.
他们以前从未遇到过如此严重的问题需要解决，在我们国家生活的任何未来，他们也永远不会遇到更严重的问题需要解决，而最让我不安的是，很少有人意识到他们在 11 月 2 日必须解决一个多么深刻的问题。
It is not merely a trifling matter; it is not a little thing that does not concern the state, it is the most vital problem we could have, and any man who goes to the polls on the second day of next November without thoroughly informing himself in regard to this subject is unworthy to be a citizen of this state, and unfit to cast a ballot.
这不只是一件小事；这不是一件与国家无关的小事，这是我们可能遇到的最重要的问题，任何在明年11月的第二天去投票站而没有彻底了解这个问题的人，都不配成为这个州的公民，也不适合投票。
If woman's suffrage is wrong, it is a great wrong; if it is right, it is a profound and fundamental principle, and we all know, if we know what a Republic is, that it is the fundamental principle upon which a Republic must rise.
如果妇女的选举权是错误的，那就是大错；如果它是正确的，那么它就是一个深刻而基本的原则，如果我们知道什么是共和国的话，我们都知道，这是一个共和国赖以崛起的基本原则。
Let us see where we are as a people; how we act here and what we think we are.
让我们看看我们作为一个民族处于什么位置；我们在这里如何行动以及我们认为自己是什么。
The difficulty with the men of this country is that they are so consistent in their inconsistency that they are not aware of having been inconsistent; because their consistency has been so continuous and their inconsistency so consecutive that it has never been broken, from the beginning of our Nation's life to the present time.
这个国家的男人的困难在于，他们总是前后矛盾，以至于他们没有意识到自己前后矛盾。因为从我们国家诞生至今，它们的一致性如此连续，而它们的不一致如此连续，从未被打破过。
If we trace our history back we will find that from the very dawn of our existence as a people, men have been imbued with a spirit and a vision more lofty than they have been able to live; they have been led by visions of the sublimest truth, both in regard to religion and in regard to government that ever inspired the souls of men from the time the Puritans left the old world to come to this country, led by the Divine ideal which is the sublimest and the supremest ideal in religious freedom which men have ever known, the theory that a man has a right to worship God according to the dictates of his own conscience, without the intervention of any other man or any other group of men.
如果我们追溯我们的历史，我们会发现，从我们作为一个民族存在的伊始，人类就被赋予了比他们能够生活的更崇高的精神和愿景；他们受到最崇高真理的愿景所引导，无论是在宗教方面还是在政府方面，自从清教徒离开旧世界来到这个国家以来，这种真理就一直激励着人们的灵魂，受到神圣理想的引导，这是人们所知道的宗教自由中最崇高和最高的理想，这一理论认为，一个人有权根据自己的良心来崇拜上帝，而无需任何其他人或任何其他人群的干预。
And it was this theory, this vision of the right of the human soul which led men first to the shores of this country.
正是这种理论，这种人类灵魂权利的愿景引导人们首先来到这个国家的海岸。
Now, nobody can deny that they are sincere, honest, and earnest men.
现在，没有人可以否认他们是真诚、诚实、认真的人。
No one can deny that the Puritans were men of profound conviction, and yet these men who gave up everything in behalf of an ideal, hardly established their communities in this new country before they began to practice exactly the same sort of persecutions on other men which had been practiced upon them.
没有人可以否认，清教徒是有着深刻信念的人，然而，这些为了理想而放弃一切的人，在这个新国家刚刚建立起自己的社群，就开始对其他人实施与他们所遭受的完全相同的迫害。
They settled in their communities on the New England shores and when they formed their compacts by which they governed their local societies, they permitted no man to have a voice in the affairs unless he was a member of the church, and not a member of any church, but a member of the particular church which dominated the particular community in which he happened to be.
他们在新英格兰海岸的社区定居下来，当他们制定治理当地社会的契约时，他们不允许任何人在事务中拥有发言权，除非他是教会的成员，而不是任何教会的成员，而是统治他所在的特定社区的特定教会的成员。
In Massachusetts they drove the Baptists down to Rhode Island; in Connecticut they drove the Presbyterians over to New Jersey; they burned the Quakers in Massachusetts and ducked the witches, and no colony, either Catholic or Protestant allowed a Jew to have a voice.
在马萨诸塞州，他们把浸信会教徒赶到了罗德岛州。在康涅狄格州，他们把长老会赶到了新泽西州。他们烧毁了马萨诸塞州的贵格会教徒，并躲避了女巫，没有一个殖民地，无论是天主教还是新教，都允许犹太人发表意见。
And so a man must worship God according to the conscience of the particular community in which he was located, and yet they called that religious freedom, they were not able to live the ideal of religious liberty, and from that time to this the men of this government have been following along the same line of inconsistency, while they too have been following a vision of equal grandeur and power.
因此，一个人必须根据他所在的特定社区的良心来敬拜上帝，然而他们称之为宗教自由，他们无法实现宗教自由的理想，从那时起，这个政府的人一直遵循同样的不一致路线，同时他们也一直遵循平等伟大和权力的愿景。
Never in the history of the world did it dawn upon the human mind as it dawned upon your ancestors, what it would mean for men to be free.
在世界历史上，人类的心灵从未像你们的祖先那样认识到自由对人类意味着什么。
They got the vision of a government in which the people would be the supreme power, and so inspired by this vision men wrote such documents as were went from the Massachusetts legislature, from the New York legislature and from the Pennsylvania group over to the Parliament of Great Britain, which rang with the profoundest measures of freedom and justice.
他们的愿景是建立一个人民拥有最高权力的政府，因此受到这一愿景的启发，人们撰写了从马萨诸塞州立法机关、纽约立法机关、宾夕法尼亚集团到英国议会的文件，这些文件中充满了自由和正义的最深刻的措施。
They did not equivocate in a single word when they wrote the Declaration of Independence; no one can dream that these men had not got the sublimest ideal of democracy which had ever dawned upon the souls of men.
他们在写《独立宣言》时，没有一个字含糊其辞；没有人会想到这些人没有实现人类灵魂中曾经出现过的最崇高的民主理想。
But as soon as the war was over and our government was formed, instead of asking the question, who shall be the governing force in this great new Republic, when they brought those thirteen little territories together, they began to eliminate instead of include the men who should be the great governing forces, and they said, who shall have the voice in this great new Republic, and you would have supposed that such men as fought the Revolutionary War would have been able to answer that every man who has fought, everyone who has given up all he has and all he has been able to accumulate shall be free, it never entered their minds.
但是，一旦战争结束，我们的政府成立，当他们将这十三个小领土聚集在一起时，他们并没有问谁将成为这个伟大的新共和国的统治力量，而是开始消除而不是包括那些应该成为伟大的新共和国的人，他们说，谁将在这个伟大的新共和国中拥有发言权，你会认为参加过革命战争的人能够回答每一个参加过战斗的人，每一个放弃了他所拥有的一切和他所能够的一切的人。积累就是免费的，他们从来没有想到过。
These excellent ancestors of yours had not been away from the old world long enough to realize that man is of more value than his purse, so they said every man who has an estate in the government shall have a voice; and they said what shall that estate be?
你们这些优秀的祖先离开旧世界的时间还不够长，还没有认识到人比他的钱包更有价值，所以他们说，每个在政府拥有财产的人都应该有发言权；他们说那个庄园是什么？
And they answered that a man who had property valued at two hundred and fifty dollars will be able to cast a vote, and so they sang "The land of the free and the home of the brave." And they wrote into their Constitution, "All males who pay taxes on $250 shall cast a vote," and they called themselves a Republic, and we call ourselves a Republic, and they were not quite so much of a Republic that we should be called a Republic yet.
他们回答说，一个人拥有价值两百五十美元的财产就可以投票，于是他们唱起了“自由者的土地，勇敢者的家园”。他们在宪法中写道：“所有缴税 250 美元的男性都应投票”，他们称自己为共和国，我们也称自己为共和国，但他们还不太像共和国，以至于我们还应该被称为共和国。
We might call ourselves angels, but that wouldn't make us angels, you have got to be an angel before you are an angel, and you have got to be a Republic before you are a Republic.
我们可以称自己为天使，但这并不能使我们成为天使，你必须先成为天使，然后才能成为天使；你必须先成为共和国，然后才能成为共和国。
Now what did we do?
现在我们做了什么？
Before the word "male" in the local compacts, they wrote the word "Church-members"; and they wrote in the word "taxpayer."
在当地契约中，在“男性”一词之前，他们写下了“教会成员”一词；他们写下了“纳税人”这个词。
Then there arose a great Democrat, Thomas Jefferson, who looked down into the day when you and I are living and saw that the rapidly accumulated wealth in the hands of a few men would endanger the liberties of the people, and he knew what you and I know, that no power under heaven or among men is known in a Republic by which men can defend their liberties except by the power of the ballot, and so the Democratic party took another step in the evolution of the Republic out of a monarchy and they rubbed out the word "taxpayer" and wrote in the word "white", and then the Democrats thought the millennium had come, and they sang " The land of the free and the home of the brave" as lustily as the Republicans had sung it before them and spoke of the divine right of motherhood with the same thrill in their voices and at the same time they were selling mother's babies by the pound on the auction block-and mothers apart from their babies.
然后出现了一位伟大的民主党人，托马斯·杰斐逊，当你和我生活的时候，他俯视着少数人手中迅速积累的财富将危及人民的自由，他知道你和我所知道的，在共和国中，除了通过选票的力量之外，天下没有任何权力可以让人们捍卫自己的自由，因此民主党在共和国从君主制的演变中又迈出了一步，他们抹掉了这个词。然后民主党人以为千禧年已经到来，他们像共和党人在他们面前唱的那样热情地唱着“自由的土地和勇敢的家园”，并以同样激动的声音谈论母性的神圣权利，同时他们在拍卖场上按磅出售母亲的婴儿——把母亲和婴儿分开。
Another arose who said a man is not a good citizen because he is white, he is a good citizen because he is a man, and the Republican party took out that progressive evolutionary eraser and rubbed out the word "white" from before the word "male' and could not think of another word to put in there- they were all in, black and white, rich and poor, wise and otherwise, drunk and sober; not a man left out to be put in, and so the Republicans could not write anything before the word "male", and they had to let the little word, "male" stay alone by itself.
另一位站出来说，一个人不是一个好公民，因为他是白人，他是一个好公民，因为他是一个男人，共和党拿出了进步进化橡皮擦，从“男性”一词之前擦掉了“白人”一词，并且想不出另一个词可以放在那里——他们都进去了，黑人和白人，富人和穷人，聪明人和其他人，醉酒和清醒；没有一个人被遗漏了，所以共和党人在“男性”这个词之前不能写任何东西，他们不得不让“男性”这个小词单独存在。
And God said in the beginning, "It is not good for man to stand alone." That is why we are here tonight, and that is all that woman's suffrage means; just to repeat again and again that first declaration of the Divine, "It is not good for man to stand alone," and so the women of this state are asking that the word "male" shall be stricken out of the Constitution altogether and that the Constitution stand as it ought to have stood in the beginning and as it must before this state is any part of a Republic.
神一开始就说：“人独居不好。”这就是我们今晚在这里的原因，这就是妇女选举权的全部意义；只是为了一次又一次地重复神圣的第一个宣言：“男人独立是不好的”，因此这个州的妇女们要求将“男性”一词从宪法中完全删除，并要求宪法保持其最初应有的状态，并且在该州成为共和国的任何一部分之前必须如此。
Every citizen possessing the necessary qualifications shall be entitled to cast one vote at every election, and have that vote counted.
具有必要资格的每个公民都有权在每次选举中投一票，并计票。
We are not asking as our Anti-Suffrage friends think we are, for any of awful things that we hear will happen if we are allowed to vote; we are simply asking that that government which professes to be a Republic shall be a Republic and not pretend to be what it is not.
我们并不是像我们的反选举权朋友所想的那样提出要求，因为如果我们被允许投票，我们听到的任何可怕的事情都会发生；我们只是要求那个自称是共和国的政府应该是一个共和国，而不是假装是一个共和国。
Now what is a Republic?
现在什么是共和国？
Take your dictionary, encyclopedia lexicon or anything else you like and look up the definition and you will find that a Republic is a form of government in which the laws are enacted by representatives elected by the people.
拿起你的字典、百科全书词典或任何你喜欢的东西，查找定义，你会发现共和国是一种政府形式，其中法律由人民选出的代表制定。
Now when did the people of New York ever elect their own representatives?
纽约人民什么时候选举过自己的代表？
Never in the world.
世上从来没有。
The men of New York have, and I grant you that men are people, admirable people, as far as they go, but they only go half way.
纽约的男人们，我承认，男人也是人，是令人钦佩的人，就他们所走的路而言，但他们只走了一半。
There is still another half of the people who have not elected representatives, and you never read a definition of a Republic in which half of the people elect representatives to govern the whole of the people.
还有一半人民没有选举代表，你从来没有读过共和国的定义，其中一半人民选举代表来统治全体人民。
That is an aristocracy and that is just what we are.
这就是贵族，而我们正是如此。
We have been many kinds of aristocracies.
我们曾经有过很多种贵族。
We have been a hierarchy of church members, than an oligarchy of sex.
我们一直是教会成员的等级制度，而不是性的寡头政治。
There are two old theories, which are dying today.
有两种古老的理论，如今正在消亡。
Dying hard, but dying.
死得很辛苦，但也死了。
One of them is dying on the plains of Flanders and the Mountains of Galicia and Austria, and that is the theory of the divine right of kings.
其中一位正在佛兰德斯平原、加利西亚和奥地利的山脉上死去，这就是君权神授的理论。
The other is dying here in the state of New York and Massachusetts and New Jersey and Pennsylvania and that is the divine right of sex.
另一个正在纽约州、马萨诸塞州、新泽西州和宾夕法尼亚州死去，这是性的神圣权利。
Neither of them had a foundation in reason, or justice, or common sense.
他们俩都没有理性、正义或常识的基础。
Now I want to make this proposition, and I believe every man will accept it.
现在我想提出这个主张，相信每个人都会接受。
Of course he will if he is intelligent.
如果他聪明的话，他当然会这么做。
Whenever a Republic prescribes the qualifications as applying equally to all the citizens of the Republic, when the Republic says in order to vote, a citizen must be twenty-one years of age, it applies to all alike, there is no discrimination against any race or sex.
每当一个共和国规定平等适用于共和国所有公民的资格时，当共和国规定公民必须年满二十一岁才能投票时，这对所有人都一视同仁，不存在对任何种族或性别的歧视。
When the government says that a citizen must be a native-born citizen or a naturalized citizen that applies to all; we are either born or naturalized, somehow or other we are here.
当政府规定公民必须是适用于所有人的本土公民或归化公民时；我们要么是天生的，要么是归化的，不知何故，我们在这里。
Whenever the government says that a citizen, in order to vote, must be a resident of a community a certain length of time, and of the state a certain length of time and of the nation a certain length of time, that applies to all equally.
每当政府规定公民必须居住一定时间的社区、居住一定时间的州、居住一定时间的国家的居民才能投票时，这对所有人都平等适用。
There is no discrimination.
不存在歧视。
We might go further and we might say that in order to vote the citizen must be able to read his ballot.
我们可能会更进一步，我们可能会说，为了投票，公民必须能够阅读他的选票。
We have not gone that far yet.
我们还没有走那么远。
We have been very careful of male ignorance in these United States.
我们一直非常警惕美国男性的无知。
I was much interested, as perhaps many of you, in reading the Congressional Record this last winter over the debate over the immigration bill, and when that illiteracy clause was introduced into the immigration bill, what fear there was in the souls of men for fear we would do injustice to some of the people who might want to come to our shores, and I was much and I was much interested in the language in which the President vetoed the bill, when he declared that by inserting the clause we would keep out of our shores a large body of very excellent people.
也许和你们中的许多人一样，我对去年冬天关于移民法案辩论的国会记录非常感兴趣，当文盲条款被引入移民法案时，人们的灵魂中充满了恐惧，担心我们会对一些可能想要来到我们海岸的人做出不公正的行为，我对总统否决该法案的措辞非常感兴趣，当时他宣布通过插入该条款，我们将被排除在我们的海岸之外。有一大批非常优秀的人。
I could not help wondering then how it happens that male ignorance is so much less ignorant than female ignorance.
我不禁想知道，为什么男性的无知比女性的无知要少得多。
When I hear people say that if women were permitted to vote a large body of ignorant people would vote, and therefore because an ignorant woman would vote, no intelligent women should be allowed to vote, I wonder why we have made it so easy for male ignorance and so hard for female ignorance.
当我听到人们说，如果允许女性投票，一大群无知的人就会投票，因此，因为无知的女性会投票，所以聪明的女性就不应该被允许投票，我想知道为什么我们让男性的无知变得如此容易，而让女性的无知变得如此困难。
When I was a girl, years ago, I lived in the back woods and there the number of votes cast at each election depended entirely upon the size of the ballot box.
几年前，当我还是个女孩时，我住在后面的树林里，每次选举的票数完全取决于投票箱的大小。
We had what was known as the old- tissue ballots and the man who got the most tissue in was the man elected.
我们有所谓的旧纸巾选票，获得最多纸巾的人就是当选者。
Now the best part of our community was very much disturbed by this method, and they did not know what to do in order to get a ballot both safe and secret; but they heard that over in Australia, where the women voted, they had a ballot which was both safe and secret, so we went over there and we got the Australian ballot and we brought it here.
现在，我们社区中最好的部分对这种方法感到非常不安，他们不知道该怎么做才能安全而秘密地进行选票；但他们听说在澳大利亚，妇女在那里投票，她们的选票既安全又秘密，所以我们去了那里，拿到了澳大利亚选票，然后把它带到了这里。
But when we got it over we found it was not adapted to this country, because in Australia they have to be able to read their ballot.
但当我们完成后，我们发现它不适合这个国家，因为在澳大利亚他们必须能够阅读他们的选票。
Now the question was how could we adapt it to our conditions?
现在的问题是我们如何才能使其适应我们的条件？
Someone discovered that if you should put a symbol at the head of each column, like a rooster, or an eagle, or a hand holding a hammer, that if a man has intelligence to know the difference between a rooster and an eagle he will know which political party to vote for, and when the ballot was adapted it was a very beautiful ballot, it looked like a page from Life.
有人发现，如果你在每一栏的开头放一个符号，比如一只公鸡，或者一只老鹰，或者一只拿着锤子的手，如果一个人有智慧知道公鸡和老鹰之间的区别，他就会知道该投票给哪个政党，当选票被修改时，这是一张非常漂亮的选票，看起来就像是《生活》中的一页。
Now almost any American could vote that ballot, or if she had not that intelligence to know the difference between an eagle and a rooster, we could take the eagle out and put in the hen.
现在几乎任何美国人都可以投票，或者如果她没有足够的智慧来区分老鹰和公鸡，我们可以把老鹰拿出来，放进母鸡。
Now when we take so much pains to adapt the ballot to the male intelligence of the United States, we should be very humble when we talk about female ignorance.
现在，当我们煞费苦心地让选票适应美国男性的智力时，当我们谈论女性的无知时，我们应该非常谦虚。
Now if we should take a vote and the men had to read their ballot in order to vote it, more women could vote than men.
现在，如果我们进行投票，而男性必须阅读选票才能投票，那么可以投票的女性人数就会多于男性。
But when the government says not only that you must be twenty-one years of age, a resident of the community and native born or naturalized, those are qualifications, but when it says that an elector must be a male, that is not a qualification for citizenship; that is an insurmountable barrier between one half of the people and the other half of the citizens and their rights as citizens.
但是，当政府不仅规定你必须年满二十一岁、是社区居民、土生土长或入籍时，这些都是资格，而且当政府规定选民必须是男性时，这并不是公民身份的资格；这是一半人民和另一半公民及其公民权利之间不可逾越的障碍。
No such nation can call itself a Republic.
没有这样的国家可以称自己为共和国。
It is only an aristocracy.
那只是一个贵族。
That barrier must be removed before the government can become a Republic, and that is exactly what we are asking right now, that the last step in the evolutionary process be taken on November 2d.
在政府成为共和国之前，必须消除这一障碍，而这正是我们现在所要求的，即在 11 月 2 日采取演变过程的最后一步。
and that this great state of New York shall become in fact as it is in theory, a part of a government of the people, by the people, and for the people.
这个伟大的纽约州实际上和理论上一样，将成为民有、民治、民享政府的一部分。
Men know the inconsistencies themselves; they realize it in one way while they do not realize it in another, because you never heard a man make a political speech when he did not speak of this country as a whole as though the thing existed which does not exist and that is that the people were equally free, because you hear them declare over and over again on the Fourth of July "under God the people rule." They know it is not true, but they say it with a great hurrah, and they repeat over and over again that clause from the Declaration of Independence.
人们自己知道其中的矛盾之处。他们以某种方式认识到这一点，而没有以另一种方式认识到这一点，因为你从来没有听过一个人发表政治演讲时，他不把这个国家作为一个整体来谈论，就好像存在着不存在的东西，那就是人民平等自由，因为你听到他们在七月四日一遍又一遍地宣称“在上帝的统治下，人民统治”。他们知道这不是真的，但他们大声欢呼，并一遍又一遍地重复《独立宣言》中的这一条款。
"Governments derive their just powers from the consent of the governed," and they see how they can prevent half of us from giving our consent to anything, and then they give it to us on the Fourth of July in two languages, so if it is not true in one it will be in the other, "vox populi, vox Dei." "The voice of the people is the voice of God," and the orator forgets that in the people's voice there is a soprano as well as a bass.
“政府的正义权力来自被统治者的同意”，他们看到如何能够阻止我们一半的人对任何事情表示同意，然后他们在七月四日用两种语言向我们提供同意，所以如果一种语言不正确，另一种语言也会如此，“vox populi, vox Dei”。 “人民的声音就是上帝的声音”，演说家忘记了人民的声音中既有女高音，也有男低音。
If the voice of the people is the voice of God, how are we ever going to know what God's voice is when we are content to listen to a bass solo?
如果人民的声音就是上帝的声音，那么当我们满足于聆听低音独奏时，我们如何知道上帝的声音是什么？
Now if it is true that the voice of the people is the voice of God, we will never know what the Deity's voice in government is until the bass and soprano are mingled together, the result of which will be the divine harmony.
如果人民的声音确实是上帝的声音，那么我们永远不会知道上帝在政府中的声音是什么，直到男低音和女高音混合在一起，其结果将是神圣的和谐。
Take any of the magnificent appeals for freedom, which men make, and rob them of their universal application and you take the very life and soul out of them.
如果人们对自由提出任何宏伟的呼吁，如果剥夺它们的普遍适用性，那么你就剥夺了他们的生命和灵魂。
Where is the difficulty?
困难在哪里？
Just in one thing and one thing only, that men are so sentimental.
只有一件事，只有一件事，男人是如此感伤。
We used to believe that women were the sentimental sex, but they can not hold a tallow candle compared with the arc light of the men.
我们曾经认为女人是多愁善感的，但与男人的弧光相比，她们根本不值一提。
Men are so sentimental in their attitude about women that they cannot reason about them.
男人对女人的态度非常感性，以至于无法推理她们。
Now men are usually very fair to each other.
现在男人之间通常都很公平。
I think the average man recognizes that he has no more right to anything at the hands of the government than has every other man.
我认为普通人都认识到，他没有比其他人更多的权利获得政府手中的任何东西。
He has no right at all to anything to which every other man has not an equal right with himself.
他对任何其他人都没有与他自己平等权利的任何东西完全没有权利。
He says why have I a right to certain things in the government; why have I a right to life and liberty; why have I a right to this or this?
他说为什么我对政府的某些事情有权利？为什么我有生命权和自由权？为什么我有这个或这个的权利？
Does he say because I am a man?
他说因为我是男人吗？
Not at all, because I am human, and being human I have a right to everything which belongs to humanity, and every right which any other human being has, I have.
完全不是，因为我是人类，作为人类，我有权拥有属于人类的一切，并且我也拥有任何其他人所拥有的每一项权利。
And then he says of his neighbor, and my neighbor he also is human, therefore every right which belongs to me as a human being, belongs to him as a human being, and I have no right to anything under the government to which he is not equally entitled.
然后他谈到他的邻居，我的邻居也是人类，因此，作为人类属于我的每一项权利，也属于作为人类的他，而在政府统治下，我无权获得他不享有同等权利的任何权利。
And then up comes a woman, and then they say now she's a woman; she is not quite human, but she is my wife, or my sister, or my daughter, or an aunt, or my cousin.
然后出现了一个女人，然后他们说现在她是一个女人了；她不完全是人类，但她是我的妻子，或者我的姐妹，或者我的女儿，或者我的阿姨，或者我的表弟。
She is not quite human; she is only related to a human, and being related to a human a human will take care of her.
她不完全是人类；她只和人类有关系，和人类有关系，人类就会照顾她。
So we have had that care-taking human being to look after us and they have not recognized that women too are equally human with men.
因此，我们有那个照顾我们的人来照顾我们，但他们没有认识到女性也与男性一样具有人性。
Now if men could forget for a minute and believe the anti-suffragists say that we want men to forget that we are related to them, they don't know men, if for a minute they could forget our relationship and remember that we are equally human with themselves, then they would say, yes, and this human being, not because she is a woman, but because she is human is entitled to every privilege and every right under the government which I, as a human being am entitled to.
现在，如果男人能够忘记一分钟，并相信反妇女参政主义者说我们希望男人忘记我们与他们的关系，他们不了解男人，如果他们能有一分钟忘记我们的关系并记住我们对他们来说同样是人，那么他们会说，是的，这个人，不是因为她是女人，而是因为她是人，有权享受政府下的每一项特权和每一项权利，而我作为一个人也有权享有。
The only reason men do not see as fairly in regard to women as they do in regard to each other is because they have looked upon us from an altogether different plane than what they have looked at men; that is because women have been the homemakers while men have been the so- called protectors, in the period of the world's civilization when people needed to be protected.
男人对待女人不像对待彼此那样公平，唯一的原因是他们看待我们的角度与看待男人的角度完全不同。这是因为，在人类需要被保护的世界文明时期，女性一直是家庭主妇，男性一直是所谓的保护者。
I know that they say that men protect us now and when we ask them what they are protecting us from the only answer they can give is from themselves.
我知道他们说男人现在保护我们，当我们问他们他们在保护我们什么时，他们唯一能给出的答案就是他们自己。
I do not think that men need any very great credit for protecting us from themselves.
我不认为人们需要任何很大的荣誉来保护我们免受他们自己的伤害。
They are not protecting us from any special thing from which we could not protect ourselves except themselves.
他们没有保护我们免受任何特殊事物的侵害，除了他们自己，我们无法保护自己。
Now this old time idea of protection was all right when the world needed this protection, but today the protection in civilization comes from within and not from without.
现在，当世界需要这种保护时，这种旧时代的保护理念是正确的，但今天文明中的保护来自内部而不是外部。
What are the arguments, which our good Anti-friends give us?
我们的好反朋友给我们提供了哪些论据？
We know that lately they have stopped to argue and call suffragists all sorts of creatures.
我们知道，最近他们已经停止争论并称妇女参政论者为各种生物。
If there is anything we believe that we do not believe, we have not heard about them, so the cry goes out of this; the cry of the infant's mind; the cry of a little child.
如果有什么我们相信但我们不相信的事情，那是因为我们没有听说过它们，所以哭声就由此而来；婴儿心灵的哭声；一个小孩的哭声。
The anti-suffragists' cries are all the cries of little children who are afraid of the unborn and are forever crying, "The goblins will catch you if you don't watch out." So that anything that has not been should not be and all that is right, when as a matter of fact if the world believed that we would be in a static condition and never move, except back like a crab.
反妇女权主义者的哭声都是小孩子的哭声，他们害怕未出生的孩子，永远哭着：“如果你不小心，妖精就会抓住你。”因此，任何没有发生的事情都不应该发生，而事实上，如果世界相信我们将处于静止状态并且永远不会移动，除非像螃蟹一样回来，那么一切都是正确的。
And so the cry goes on.
哭声就这样继续下去。
When suffragists are feminists, and when I ask what that is no one is able to tell me.
当妇女参政主义者是女权主义者时，当我问那是什么时，没有人能告诉我。
I would give anything to know what a feminist is.
我愿意付出一切来了解什么是女权主义者。
They say, would you like to be a feminist?
他们说，你想成为一名女权主义者吗？
If I could find out I would, you either have to be masculine or feminine and I prefer feminine.
如果我能找到的话，你要么必须是男性化的，要么是女性化的，而我更喜欢女性化。
Then they cry that we are socialists, and anarchists.
然后他们喊道我们是社会主义者和无政府主义者。
Just how a human can be both at the same time, I really do not know.
我真的不知道一个人如何能够同时兼具两者。
If I know what socialism means it means absolute government and anarchism means no government at all.
如果我知道社会主义意味着什么，那就意味着绝对政府，而无政府主义意味着根本没有政府。
So we are feminists, socialists, anarchists, and Mormons or spinsters.
所以我们是女权主义者、社会主义者、无政府主义者、摩门教徒或老处女。
Now that is about the list.
现在是关于列表的。
I have not heard the last speech.
我还没有听到最后一次演讲。
Now as a matter of fact, as a unit we are nothing, as individuals we are like all other individuals.
事实上，作为一个整体，我们什么都不是，作为个体，我们就像所有其他个体一样。
We have our theories, our beliefs, but as suffragists we have but one belief, but one principle, but one theory and that is the right of a human being to have a voice in the government, under which he or she lives, on that we agree, if on nothing else.
我们有我们的理论，我们的信仰，但作为妇女参政论者，我们只有一种信仰，一种原则，一种理论，那就是一个人在他或她所生活的政府中拥有发言权的权利，我们对此表示同意，如果没有其他的话。
Whether we agree or not on religion or politics we are concerned.
无论我们在宗教或政治上是否同意，我们都关心。
A clergyman asked me the other day, " By the way, what church does your official board belong to?" I said I don't know.
有一天，一位牧师问我：“顺便问一下，你们的官方董事会属于哪个教会？”我说我不知道。
He said, " Don't you know what religion your official board believes?" I said, "Really it never occurred to me, but I will [missing text] them up and see, they are not elected to my board because they believe in any particular church.
他说：“你难道不知道你们的官方委员会信仰什么宗教吗？”我说：“我真的从来没有想到过，但我会[遗漏文字]他们起来看看，他们不会被选入我的董事会，因为他们相信任何特定的教会。
We had no concern either as to what we believe as religionists or as to what we believe as women in regard to theories of government, except that one fundamental theory in the right of democracy.
除了民主权利的一项基本理论之外，我们不关心我们作为宗教徒或妇女相信什么政府理论。
We do not believe in this fad or the other, but whenever any question is to be settled in any community, then the people of that community shall settle that question, the women people equally with the men people.
我们不相信这种时尚，但每当任何社区要解决任何问题时，该社区的人民都应解决该问题，妇女与男子平等。
That is all there is to it, and yet when it comes to arguing our case they bring up all sorts of arguments, and the beauty of it is they always answer all their own arguments.
这就是全部内容，然而当涉及到争论我们的案子时，他们提出了各种各样的论点，而美妙之处在于他们总是回答自己所有的论点。
They never make an argument, but they answer it.
他们从不争论，但他们会回答。
When I was asked to answer one of their debates I said, " What is the use?
当我被要求回答他们的一场辩论时，我说：“这有什么用呢？
Divide up their literature and let them destroy themselves."
瓜分他们的文学作品，让他们毁灭自己。”
I was followed up last year by a young, married woman from New Jersey.
去年，一位来自新泽西州的年轻已婚女性跟进了我。
She left her husband home for three months to tell the women that their place was at home, and that they could not leave home long enough to go to the ballot box, and she brought all her arguments out in pairs and backed them up by statistics.
她把丈夫留在家里三个月，告诉妇女们，她们的位置是在家里，她们不能离开家太久，不能去投票箱，她成对地提出了她所有的论点，并用统计数据来支持它们。
The anti-suffragists can gather more statistics than any other person I ever saw, and there is nothing so sweet and calm as when they say, "You cannot deny this, because here are the figures, and figures never lie." Well they don't but some liars figure.
反妇女参政主义者比我见过的任何其他人都能收集到更多的统计数据，当他们说“你不能否认这一点，因为这是数字，而数字从不说谎”时，没有什么比这更甜蜜和平静的了。好吧，他们不知道，但有些骗子认为。
When they start out they always begin the same.
当他们开始时，他们总是以同样的方式开始。
She started by proving that it was no use to give the women the ballot because if they did have it they would not use it, and she had statistics to prove it.
她首先证明给妇女选票是没有用的，因为即使她们拥有选票，她们也不会使用它，她有统计数据来证明这一点。
If we would not use it then I really can not see the harm of giving it to us, we would not hurt anybody with it and what an easy way for you men to get rid of us.
如果我们不使用它，那么我真的看不出将它提供给我们有什么危害，我们不会用它伤害任何人，对你们来说这是摆脱我们的简单方法。
No more suffrage meetings, never any nagging you again, no one could blame you for anything that went wrong with the town, if it did not run right, all you would have to say is, you have the power, why don't you go ahead and clean up.
不再有选举权会议，不再有任何人唠叨你，没有人会因为镇上的任何问题而责怪你，如果运行不正常，你只能说，你有权力，为什么不去清理呢。
Then the young lady, unfortunately for her first argument, proved by statistics, of which she had many, the awful results which happened where women did have the ballot; what awful laws have been brought about by women's vote; the conditions that prevail in the homes and how deeply women get interested in politics, because women are hysterical, and we can not think of anything else, we just forget our families, cease to care for our children, cease to love our husbands and just go to the polls and vote and keep on voting for ten hours a day 365 days in the year, never let up, if we ever get to the polls once you will never get us home, so that the women will not vote at all, and they will not do anything but vote.
然后这位年轻女士，不幸的是，她的第一个论点，被统计数据证明了，她有很多统计数据，在妇女确实有投票权的地方发生了可怕的结果；妇女的投票带来了多么可怕的法律？家庭中普遍存在的条件以及妇女对政治的兴趣有多深，因为妇女歇斯底里，我们无法考虑其他任何事情，我们只是忘记了我们的家庭，不再照顾我们的孩子，不再爱我们的丈夫，只是去投票站投票，一年365天，每天十个小时继续投票，永远不要放松，如果我们一旦到达投票站，你就永远不会让我们回家，所以妇女们根本不会投票，他们不会做任何事情，但投票。
Now these are two very strong anti-suffrage arguments and they can prove them by figures.
这是两个非常强烈的反选举权论点，他们可以用数字来证明。
Then they will tell you that if women are permitted to vote it will be a great expense and no use because wives will vote just as their husbands do; even if we have no husbands, that would not effect the result because we would vote just as our husbands would vote if we had one.
然后他们会告诉你，如果允许妇女投票，那将是一笔巨大的开支，而且没有任何用处，因为妻子会像她们的丈夫一样投票；即使我们没有丈夫，这也不会影响结果，因为我们会投票，就像我们有丈夫时我们的丈夫也会投票一样。
How I wish the anti-suffragists could make the men believe that; if they could make men believe that the women would vote just as they wanted them to do you think we would ever have to make another speech or hold another meeting, we would have to vote whether we wanted to or not.
我多么希望反选举权主义者能让男人们相信这一点；如果他们能让男人相信妇女会按照他们希望的方式投票，你认为我们将不得不再发表一次演讲或举行另一次会议，那么无论我们是否愿意，我们都必须投票。
And then the very one who will tell you that women will vote just as their husbands do will tell you in five minutes that they will not vote as their husbands will and then the discord in the homes, and the divorce.
然后那个告诉你女人会像她们的丈夫一样投票的人会在五分钟内告诉你她们不会像她们的丈夫那样投票，然后家庭不和，然后离婚。
Why, they have discovered that in Colorado there are more divorces than there were before women began to vote, but they have forgotten to tell you that there are four times as many people in Colorado today as there were when women began to vote, and that may have some effect, particularly as these people went from the East.
为什么，他们发现科罗拉多州的离婚率比女性开始投票之前要多，但他们忘了告诉你，今天科罗拉多州的人口数量是女性开始投票时的四倍，这可能会产生一些影响，特别是因为这些人来自东部。
Then they will tell you all the trouble that happens in the home.
然后他们会告诉你家里发生的所有麻烦。
A gentleman told me that in California [missing text] and when he was talking I had a wonderful thing pass through my mind, because he said that he and his wife had lived together for twenty years and never had a difference in opinion in the whole twenty years and he was afraid if women began to vote that his wife would vote differently from him and then that beautiful harmony which they had had for twenty years would be broken, and all the time he was talking I could not help wondering which was the idiot because I knew that no intelligent human beings could live together for twenty years and not have a differences of opinion.
一位绅士告诉我，在加利福尼亚州[缺少文字]，当他说话时，我脑海中闪过一件奇妙的事情，因为他说他和他的妻子一起生活了二十年，这二十年来从未有过意见分歧，他担心如果女性开始投票，他的妻子会投票与他不同，那么他们二十年来的美好和谐就会被打破，而他说话的时候我忍不住想知道谁是白痴，因为我知道没有聪明的人类可以生活在一起二十年来，没有意见分歧。
All the time he was talking I looked at that splendid type of manhood and thought, how would a man feel being tagged up by a little woman for twenty years saying, "Me too, me too." I would not want to live in a house with a human being for twenty years who agreed with everything I said.
在他说话的过程中，我看着那种出色的男子气概，心想，一个男人被一个小女人跟踪二十年，说“我也是，我也是”，会有什么感觉。我不想和一个同意我所说的一切的人住在一起二十年。
The stagnation of a frog pond would be hilarious compared to that.
与此相比，青蛙池塘的停滞就更搞笑了。
What a reflection is that on men.
这对男人来说是多么大的反思啊。
If we should say that about men we would never hear the last of it.
如果我们要这样谈论人类的话，我们将永远不会听到最后一个。
Now it may be that the kind of men being that the anti-suffragists live with is that kind, but they are not the kind we live with and we could not do it.
也许与反妇女权主义者一起生活的人就是这样的人，但他们不是与我们生活在一起的那种人，我们也做不到。
Great big overgrown babies!
伟大的大婴儿！
Cannot be disputed without having a row!
不争吵就不能争论！
While we do not believe that men are saints, by any means, we do believe that the average American man is a fairly good sort of fellow.
虽然我们无论如何都不相信男人是圣人，但我们确实相信普通的美国人都是相当不错的人。
In fact my theory of the whole matter is exactly opposite, because instead of believing that men and women will quarrel, I think just the opposite thing will happen.
事实上，我对整个问题的理论完全相反，因为我不相信男人和女人会吵架，而是认为会发生相反的事情。
I think just about six weeks before election a sort of honeymoon will start and it will continue until they will think they are again hanging over the gate, all in order to get each other's votes.
我认为，在选举前大约六周，一种蜜月就会开始，并且会持续下去，直到他们认为自己再次悬在大门上，这一切都是为了获得彼此的选票。
When men want each other's votes they do not go up and knock them down; they are very solicitous of each other, if they are thirsty or need a smoke or [missing text] well we don't worry about home.
当人们想要彼此的选票时，他们不会站起来把他们推倒；他们非常关心彼此，如果他们口渴或需要抽烟或[缺少文字]，那么我们不担心家。
The husband and wife who are quarreling after the vote are quarreling now.
投票后吵架的夫妻现在又吵架了。
Then the other belief that the women would not vote if they had a vote and would not do anything else; and would vote just as their husbands vote, and would not vote like their husbands; that women have so many burdens that they cannot bear another burden, and that women are the leisure class.
然后另一种信念是，如果妇女有投票权，她们就不会投票，并且不会做任何其他事情；会像她们丈夫那样投票，也不会像她们丈夫那样投票；妇女有如此多的负担，以至于她们无法再承担另一个负担，并且妇女是有闲阶级。
I remember having Reverend Dr. Abbott speak before the anti-suffrage meeting in Brooklyn and he stated that if women were permitted to vote we would not have so much time for charity and philanthropy, and I would like to say, "Thank God, there will not be so much need of charity and philanthropy." The end and aim of the suffrage is not to furnish an opportunity for excellent old ladies to be charitable.
我记得阿博特牧师博士在布鲁克林的反选举权会议之前发言，他说如果允许女性投票，我们就不会有那么多时间从事慈善事业，我想说，“感谢上帝，就不会有那么多慈善事业和慈善事业了。”选举权的目的和目的并不是为优秀的老太太提供慈善的机会。
There are two words that we ought to be able to get along without, and they are charity and philanthropy.
有两个词我们应该能够离不开，那就是慈善和博爱。
They are not needed in a Republic.
共和国不需要它们。
If we put in the word "opportunity" instead, that is what Republics stand for.
如果我们加上“机会”这个词，那就是共和国所代表的意义。
Our doctrine is not to extend the length of our bread lines or the size of our soup kitchens, what we need is for men to have the opportunity to buy their own bread and eat their own soup.
我们的信条不是延长我们的面包生产线的长度或我们施粥厨房的规模，我们需要的是让人们有机会购买自己的面包和喝自己的汤。
We women have used up our lives and strength in fool charities, and we have made more paupers than we have ever helped by the folly of our charities and philanthropies; the unorganized methods by which we deal with the conditions of society, and instead of giving people charity we must learn to give them an opportunity to develop and make themselves capable of earning the bread; no human being has the right to live without toil; toil of some kind, and that old theory that we used to hear "The world owes a man a living" never was true and never will be true.
我们妇女在愚蠢的慈善事业中耗尽了我们的生命和力量，我们使更多的人成为穷人，比我们通过愚蠢的慈善事业帮助过的人还要多。我们处理社会状况的无组织方法，我们不应该向人们施舍，而必须学会给他们一个发展的机会，使他们自己有能力谋生；任何人都没有权利不劳而获；某种辛劳，我们过去常常听到的“世界欠一个人谋生”的古老理论从来都不是真的，也永远不会是真的。
This world does not owe anybody a living, what it does owe to every human being is the opportunity to earn a living.
这个世界不欠任何人谋生，欠每个人的是谋生的机会。
We have a right to the opportunity and then the right to the living thereafter.
我们拥有获得机会的权利，以及此后生存的权利。
We want it.
我们想要它。
No woman, any more than a man, has the right to live an idle life in this world, we must learn to give back something for the space occupied and we must do our duty wherever duty calls, and the woman herself must decide where her duty calls, just as a man does.
女人和男人一样，没有权利在这个世界上过着无所事事的生活，我们必须学会为所占据的空间回馈一些东西，我们必须在任何责任需要的地方履行我们的责任，而女人必须自己决定她的责任在哪里，就像男人一样。
Now they tell us we should not vote because we have not the time, we are so burdened that we should not have any more burdens.
现在他们告诉我们，我们不应该投票，因为我们没有时间，我们负担太重，不应该再有任何负担。
Then, if that is so, I think we ought to allow the women to vote instead of the men, since we pay a man anywhere from a third to a half more than we do women it would be better to use up the cheap time of the women instead of the dear time of the men.
那么，如果是这样的话，我认为我们应该允许女性而不是男性投票，因为我们付给男性的工资比女性多三分之一到一半，所以最好利用女性的廉价时间而不是男性的宝贵时间。
And talking about time you would think it took about a week to vote.
说到时间，你会认为投票大约需要一周的时间。
A dear, good friend of mine in Omaha said, "Now Miss.
我在奥马哈的一位亲爱的好朋友说：“现在，小姐。
Shaw," and she held up her child in her arms, "is not this my job." I said it certainly is, and then she said, "How can I go to the polls and vote and neglect my baby?" I said, "Has your husband a job?" and she said, "Why you know he has." I did know it; he was a banker and a very busy one.
肖，”她把孩子抱在怀里，“这不是我的工作吗？”我说当然是，然后她说，“我怎么能去投票站投票而忽视我的孩子呢？”我说，“你丈夫有工作吗？”她说，“为什么你知道他有工作。”我确实知道；他是一名银行家，而且非常忙碌。
I said, "Yet your husband said he was going to leave husband and go down to the polls and vote," and she said, "Oh yes, he is so very interested in election." Then I said, "What an advantage you have over your husband, he has to leave his job and you can take your job with you and you do not need to neglect your job." Is it not strange that the only time a woman might neglect her baby is on election day, and then the dear old Antis hold up their hands and say, "You have neglected your baby." A woman can belong to a whist club and go once a week and play whist, she cannot take her baby to the whist club, and she has to keep whist herself without trying to keep a baby whist.
我说，“然而你的丈夫说他要离开丈夫去投票站投票，”她说，“哦，是的，他对选举非常感兴趣。”然后我说：“你比你丈夫有多大优势，他必须辞职，你可以带着你的工作，你不需要忽视你的工作。”这难道不奇怪吗？女人唯一可能忽视自己孩子的时候是在选举日，然后亲爱的老安蒂斯举起双手说：“你忽视了你的孩子。”一个女人可以加入惠斯特俱乐部，每周去一次惠斯特，但她不能带她的孩子去惠斯特俱乐部，而且她必须自己保持惠斯特，而不能试图保持婴儿惠斯特。
She can go to the theatre, to church or a picnic and no one is worrying about the baby, but to vote and everyone cries out about the neglect.
她可以去剧院、去教堂或去野餐，没有人担心孩子，但去投票时，每个人都会因忽视而哭泣。
You would think on Election Day that a woman grabbed up her baby and started out and just dropped it somewhere and paid no attention to it.
你可能会认为，在选举日，一名妇女抓起她的孩子就出发了，只是把它扔在某个地方，没有注意到它。
It used to be asked when we had the question [missing text] box, "Who will take care of the babies?" I did not know what person could be got to take care of all the babies, so I thought I would go out West and find out.
当我们遇到问题[缺少文本]框时，曾经有人问“谁来照顾婴儿？”我不知道要找什么人来照顾所有的婴儿，所以我想我应该去西部看看。
I went to Denver and I found that they took care of their babies just the same on election day as they did on every other day; they took their baby along with them, when they went to put a letter in a box they took their baby along and when they went to put their ballot in the box they took their baby along.
我去了丹佛，发现他们在选举日和其他日子一样照顾自己的孩子。他们带着他们的孩子一起去，当他们去把一封信放进盒子里时，他们带着他们的孩子一起去，当他们去把选票放进盒子里时，他们带着他们的孩子一起去。
If the mother had to stand in line and the baby got restless she would joggle the go-cart and when she went in to vote a neighbor would joggle the go-cart and if there was no neighbor there was the candidate and he would joggle the cart.
如果母亲不得不排队，而婴儿焦躁不安，她就会摇动推车，当她进去投票时，邻居会摇动推车，如果没有邻居，那么候选人就会摇动推车。
That is one day in the year when you can get a hundred people to take care of any number of babies.
一年中的某一天，你可以让一百个人照顾任意数量的婴儿。
I have never worried about the babies on Election Day since that time.
从那时起，我就再也没有在选举日担心过孩子们。
Then the people will tell you that women are so burdened with their duties that they can not vote, and they will tell you that women are the leisure class and the men are worked to death: but the funniest argument of the lady who followed me about in the West: Out there they were great in the temperance question, and she declared that we were not prohibition, or she declared that we were.
然后人们会告诉你，女人的责任如此沉重，以至于她们无法投票，他们会告诉你，女人是有闲阶级，而男人则工作至死：但是在西方跟随我的那位女士最有趣的论点是：在那里，他们在禁酒问题上很出色，她宣称我们不是禁酒令，或者她宣称我们是禁酒令。
Now in North Dakota which is one of the first prohibition states, and they are dry because they want to be dry.
现在在北达科他州，这是最早的禁酒州之一，他们之所以干燥，是因为他们想要干燥。
In that state she wanted to prove to them that if women were allowed to vote they would vote North Dakota wet and she had her figures; that women had not voted San Francisco dry, or Portland dry, or Chicago dry.
在那个州，她想向他们证明，如果允许女性投票，她们会投票给北达科他州，而她有她的数据；女性没有投票给旧金山干性、波特兰干性或芝加哥干性。
Of course we had not voted on the question in Chicago, but that did not matter.
当然，我们没有在芝加哥就这个问题进行投票，但这并不重要。
Then we went to Montana, which is wet.
然后我们去了蒙大拿州，那里很潮湿。
They have it wet there because they want it wet, so that any argument that she could bring to bear upon them to prove that we would make North Dakota wet and keep it wet would have given us the state, but that would not work, so she brought out the figures out of her pocket to prove to the men of Montana that if women were allowed to vote in Montana they would vote Montana dry.
他们在那里湿漉漉的，因为他们想要湿湿的，所以她可以向他们提出任何论据来证明我们会让北达科他州湿润并保持湿润，这都会给我们这个州，但这行不通，所以她从口袋里掏出数字来向蒙大拿州的男人证明，如果允许妇女在蒙大拿州投票，他们就会把蒙大拿州投票给干燥的。
She proved that in two years in Illinois they had voted ninety-six towns dry, and that at that rate we would soon get over Montana and have it dry.
她证明，在伊利诺伊州的两年里，他们已经投票选出了九十六个城镇，按照这个速度，我们很快就能超越蒙大拿州，让其干旱。
Then I went to Nebraska and as soon as I reached there a reporter came and asked me the question, "How are the women going to vote on the prohibition question?" I said, "I really don't know.
然后我去了内布拉斯加州，一到那里就有记者问我这个问题：“妇女们将如何就禁酒令问题投票？”我说：“我真的不知道。
I know how we will vote in North Dakota, we will vote wet in North Dakota; in Montana we will vote dry, but how we will vote in Nebraska, I don't know, but I will let you know just as soon as the lady from New Jersey comes."
我知道我们将如何在北达科他州投票，我们将在北达科他州投票；在蒙大拿州，我们将进行干投票，但在内布拉斯加州我们将如何投票，我不知道，但一旦新泽西州的女士到来，我就会通知您。”
We will either vote as our husbands vote or we will not vote as our husbands vote.
我们要么按照我们丈夫的投票方式投票，要么不按照我们丈夫的投票方式投票。
We either have time to vote or we don't have time to vote.
我们要么有时间投票，要么没有时间投票。
We will either not vote at all or we will vote all the time.
我们要么根本不投票，要么一直投票。
It reminds me of the story of the old Irish woman who had twin boys and they were so much alike that the neighbors could not tell them apart, so one of the neighbors said, " Now Mrs. Mahoney, you have two of the finest twin boys I ever saw in all my life, but how do you know them apart." "Oh," she says, "That's easy enough any one could tell them apart.
这让我想起一位爱尔兰老妇人的故事，她有一对双胞胎男孩，他们非常相似，邻居们都无法区分他们，所以一位邻居说：“马奥尼夫人，你有两个我一生中见过的最好的双胞胎男孩，但你怎么知道他们分开的呢？” “哦，”她说，“这很容易，任何人都可以区分它们。
When I want to know which is which I just put my finger in Patsey's mouth and if he bites it is Mikey."
当我想知道哪个是哪个时，我就把手指放在帕西的嘴里，如果他咬了，那就是米奇。”
Now what does it matter whether the women will vote as their husbands do or will not vote; whether they have time or have not; or whether they will vote for prohibition or not.
现在，妇女是否会像她们的丈夫一样投票或不投票又有什么关系呢？他们是否有时间；或者他们是否会投票支持禁止。
What has that to do with the fundamental question of democracy, no one has yet discovered.
这与民主的根本问题有什么关系，目前还没有人发现。
Bu they cannot argue on that; they cannot argue on the fundamental basis of our existence so that they have to get off on all of these side tricks to get anything approaching an argument.
但是他们不能争论这一点；他们无法就我们存在的根本基础进行争论，因此他们必须使用所有这些小伎俩才能获得任何接近争论的东西。
So they tell you that democracy is a form of government.
所以他们告诉你民主是政府的一种形式。
It is not.
事实并非如此。
It was before governments were; it will prevail when governments cease to be; it is more than a form of government; it is a great spiritual force emanating from the heart of the Infinite, transforming human character until some day, some day in the distant future, man by the power of the spirit of democracy, will be able to look back into the face of the Infinite and answer, as man can not answer today, " One is our Father, even God, and all we people are the children of one family."
那是在政府之前；当政府不再存在时，它就会盛行；它不仅仅是一种政府形式；它是一种从无限的心中散发出来的伟大精神力量，改变着人类的性格，直到有一天，在遥远的未来的某一天，人类凭借民主精神的力量，将能够回顾无限的面容并回答，就像今天人类无法回答的那样：“一个是我们的父亲，甚至是上帝，我们所有人都是一个家庭的孩子。”
And when democracy has taken possession of human lives no man will ask from him to grant to his neighbor, whether that neighbor be a man or woman; no man will then be willing to allow another man to rise to power on his shoulders, nor will he be willing to rise to power on the shoulders of another prostrate human being.
当民主占据了人类的生活时，没有人会要求他给予他的邻居，无论邻居是男人还是女人；那时，没有人会愿意让另一个人在他的肩膀上掌权，也不会愿意在另一个屈服的人的肩膀上掌权。
Bu that has not yet taken possession of us, but some day we will be free, and we are getting nearer and nearer to it all the time; and never in the history of our country had the men and women of this nation a better right to approach it than they have today; never in the history of the nation did it stand out so splendidly as it stands today, and never ought we men and women to be more grateful for anything than that there presides in the White House today a man of peace.
但这还没有占据我们，但总有一天我们会获得自由，而且我们离它越来越近了；在我们国家的历史上，这个国家的男男女女从来没有像今天这样拥有更好的权利来对待这个国家；在这个国家的历史上，从来没有像今天这样如此辉煌，我们男人和女人永远不应该对今天在白宫主持的一位和平人士更加感激。
As so our good friends go on with one thing after another and they say if women should vote they will have to sit on the jury and they ask whether we will like to see a woman sitting on a jury.
因此，我们的好朋友继续一件又一件的事情，他们说如果女性应该投票，她们将不得不坐在陪审团中，他们问我们是否愿意看到女性坐在陪审团中。
I have seen some juries that ought to be sat on and I have seen some women that would be glad to sit on anything.
我见过一些应该参加的陪审团，也见过一些愿意参加任何事情的女性。
When a woman stands up all day behind a counter, or when she stands all day doing a washing she is glad enough to sit; and when she stands for seventy-five cents she would like to sit for two dollars a day.
当一个女人整天站在柜台后面，或者当她整天站着洗衣服时，她很乐意坐下来；当她站着七十五美分时，她愿意每天坐两美元。
But don't you think we need some women on juries in this country?
但你不认为这个国家的陪审团需要一些女性吗？
You read your paper and you read that one day last week or the week before or the week before a little girl went out to school and never came back; another little girl was sent on an errand and never came back; another little girl was left in charge of a little sister and her mother went out to work and when she returned the little girl was not there, and you read it over and over again, and the horror of it strikes you.
你读了你的论文，你读到上周的某一天，或者前一周或者前一周，一个小女孩出去上学，再也没有回来；另一个小女孩被派出去办事，再也没有回来。另一个小女孩被留下来照顾一个小妹妹，她的母亲出去工作了，当她回来时，小女孩不在了，你读了一遍又一遍，它的恐怖袭击了你。
You read that in these United States five thousand young girls go out and never come back, don't you think that the men and women the vampires of our country who fatten and grow rich on the ignorance and innocence of children would rather face Satan himself than a jury of mothers.
你读到，在美国，有五千个年轻女孩出去，再也没有回来，你不认为我们国家的男男女女，靠着孩子的无知和天真而发胖和致富的吸血鬼，宁愿面对撒旦本人，也不愿面对母亲组成的陪审团。
I would like to see some juries of mothers.
我想见一些由母亲组成的评审团。
I lived in the slums of Boston for three years and I know the need of juries of mothers.
我在波士顿的贫民窟生活了三年，我知道母亲陪审团的需要。
Then they tell us that if women were permitted to vote that they would take office, and you would suppose that we just took office in this country.
然后他们告诉我们，如果允许女性投票，她们就会上任，你会认为我们刚刚在这个国家上任。
There is a difference of getting an office in this country and in Europe.
在这个国家和欧洲设立办事处是有区别的。
In England, a man stands for Parliament and in this country he runs for Congress, and so long as it is a question of running for office I don't think women have much chance, especially with our present hobbles.
在英国，一个男人代表议会，而在这个国家，他竞选国会议员，只要是竞选公职的问题，我认为女性就没有多少机会，尤其是在我们目前的困境下。
There are some women who want to hold office and I may as well own up.
有些女性想要担任公职，我不妨承认。
I am one of them.
我就是其中之一。
I have been wanting to hold office for more than thirty- five years.
三十五年来，我一直想担任公职。
Thirty-five years ago I lived in the slums of Boston and ever since then I have wanted to hold office.
三十五年前，我住在波士顿的贫民窟，从那时起我就想担任公职。
I have applied to the major to be made an officer; I wanted to be the greatest office holder in the world, I wanted the position of the man I think is to be the most envied, as far as the ability to do good is concerned, and that is a policeman.
我已向少校申请晋升军官；我想成为世界上最伟大的官员，我想要一个我认为最令人羡慕的职位，就行善的能力而言，那就是警察。
I have always wanted to be a policeman and I have applied to be appointed policeman and the very first question that was asked me was, "Could you knock a man down and take him to jail?"
我一直想成为一名警察，我已经申请被任命为警察，问我的第一个问题是，“你能打倒一个人并把他送进监狱吗？”
That is some people's idea of the highest service that a policeman can render a community.
这是一些人对警察能为社区提供的最高服务的看法。
Knock somebody down and take him to jail!
打倒某人并把他送进监狱！
My idea is not so much to arrest criminals as it is to prevent crime.
我的想法与其说是逮捕罪犯，不如说是预防犯罪。
That is what is needed in the police force of every community.
这就是每个社区的警察部队所需要的。
When I lived for three years in the back alleys of Boston.
当我在波士顿的后巷住了三年的时候。
I saw there that it was needed to prevent crime and from that day?
我在那里看到需要预防犯罪，从那天开始？
This I believe there is no great public gathering of any sort whatever where we do not need women on the police force; we need them at every moving picture show, every dance house, every restaurant, every hotel, and every great store with a great bargain counter and every park and every resort where the vampires who fatten on the crimes and vices of men and women gather.
我相信，无论在哪里，我们都不需要女性加入警察部队，任何形式的大型公共集会都不会发生。我们在每一场电影放映、每家舞厅、每家餐厅、每家酒店、每家设有特价柜台的大商店、每一个公园和每一个因男人和女人的犯罪和恶习而发胖的吸血鬼聚集的度假村都需要它们。
We need women on the police force and we will have them there some day.
我们需要女性加入警察队伍，总有一天我们会让她们加入。
If women vote, will they go to war?
如果女性投票，她们会发动战争吗？
They are great on having us fight.
他们很乐意让我们战斗。
They tell you that the government rests on force, but there are a great many kinds of force in this world, and never in the history of man were the words of the Scriptures proved to the extent that they are today, that the men of the nation that lives by the sword shall die by the sword.
他们告诉你，政府依靠武力，但是这个世界上有很多种武力，而在人类历史上，《圣经》的话从来没有像今天这样得到证实，靠刀剑生存的国家的人们将死于刀剑之下。
When I was speaking in North Dakota from an automobile with a great crowd and a great number of men gathered around a man who had been sitting in front of a store whittling a stick called out to another man and asked if women get the vote will they go over to Germany and fight the Germans?
当我在北达科他州的一辆汽车上发表讲话时，车上挤满了人群，很多男人围着一个坐在商店前削木棍的男人，他向另一个男人喊道，问如果女性获得投票权，她们会去德国与德国人作战吗？
I said, "Why no, why should we go over to Germany and fight Germans?" "If Germans come over here would you fight?" I said, "Why should we women fight men, but if Germany should send an army of women over here, then we would show you what we would do.
我说：“为什么不，我们为什么要去德国和德国人作战？” “如果德国人来这里你会打架吗？”我说：“为什么我们女人要和男人打仗，但如果德国应该派遣一支妇女军队到这里来，那么我们就会向你们展示我们会做什么。
We would go down and meet them and say, "Come on, let's go up to the opera house and talk this matter over." It might grow wearisome but it would not be death.
我们会下去见他们并说：“走吧，我们去歌剧院谈谈这件事。”它可能会变得令人厌倦，但它不会是死亡。
Would it not be better if the heads of the governments in Europe had talked things over?
如果欧洲各国政府首脑商量一下不是更好吗？
What might have happened to the world if a dozen men had gotten together in Europe and settled the awful controversy, which is today discriminating the nations of Europe?
如果十几个人聚集在欧洲并解决今天歧视欧洲国家的可怕争议，世界会发生什么？
We women got together there last year, over in Rome, the delegates from twenty-eight different nations of women, and for two weeks we discussed problems which had like interests to us all.
去年，来自二十八个不同国家的妇女代表在罗马齐聚一堂，我们花了两周的时间讨论了我们大家都有共同兴趣的问题。
They were all kinds of Protestants, both kinds of Catholics, Roman, and Greek, three were Jews and Mohamedans, but we were not there to discuss our different religious beliefs, but we were there to discuss the things that were of vital importance to us all, and at the end of the two weeks, after the discussions were over we passed a great number of resolutions.
他们都是新教徒，既有天主教徒，也有罗马人和希腊人，三个是犹太人和伊斯兰教徒，但我们不是在那里讨论我们不同的宗教信仰，而是在那里讨论对我们所有人都至关重要的事情，在两周结束时，讨论结束后，我们通过了很多决议。
We discussed white slavery, the immigration laws, we discussed the spread of contagious and infectious diseases; we discussed various forms of education, and various forms of juvenile criminals, every question which every nation has to meet, and at the end of two weeks we passed many resolutions, but two of them were passed unanimously.
我们讨论了白人奴隶制、移民法，我们讨论了传染病的传播；我们讨论了各种形式的教育，各种形式的青少年犯罪，每个国家都必须面对的每一个问题，两周后我们通过了许多决议，但其中两项是一致通过的。
One was presented by myself as Chairman on the Committee on Suffrage and on that resolution we called upon all civilizations of the world to give to women equal rights with men and there was not a dissenting vote.
其中一项是我本人作为选举权委员会主席提出的，在该决议中，我们呼吁世界所有文明给予妇女与男子平等的权利，并且没有投反对票。
The other resolution was on peace.
另一项决议是关于和平的。
We believed then and many of us believe today, notwithstanding all the discussion that is going on, we believe and we will continue to believe that preparedness for war is an incentive to war, and the only hope of permanent peace is the systematic and scientific disarmament of all the nations of the world, and we passed a resolution and passed it unanimously to that effect.
我们当时相信，我们许多人今天也相信，尽管正在进行所有讨论，我们相信并将继续相信，战争准备是战争的诱因，永久和平的唯一希望是世界所有国家系统和科学的裁军，我们为此通过了一项决议并一致通过。
A few days afterward I attended a large reception given by the American ambassador, and there was an Italian diplomat there and he spoke rather superciliously and said, " You women think you have been having a very remarkable convention, and I understand that a resolution on peace was offered by the Germans, the French women seconded it, and the British presiding presented it and it was carried unanimously." We none of us dreamed what was taking place at that time, but he knew and we learned it before we arrived home, that awful, awful thing that was about to sweep over the nations of the world.
几天后，我参加了美国大使举行的大型招待会，那里有一位意大利外交官，他说话相当傲慢，说：“你们妇女们认为你们召开了一次非常了不起的会议，据我所知，德国人提出了一项关于和平的决议，法国妇女附议了它，主持会议的英国提出了它，并且获得了一致通过。”我们谁也没有想到当时发生了什么，但他知道，我们在回家之前就知道了，那可怕的事情即将席卷世界各国。
The American ambassador replied to the Italian diplomat and said, "Yes Prince, it was a remarkable convention, and it is a remarkable thing that the only people who can get together internationally and discuss their various problems without acrimony and without a sword at their side are the women of the world, but we men, even when we go to the Hague to discuss peace, we go with a sword dangling at our side." It is remarkable that even at this age men can not discuss international problems and discuss them in peace.
美国大使回复意大利外交官说：“是的，王子，这是一次了不起的大会，这是一件了不起的事情，唯一能够在国际上聚集在一起，讨论各种问题，没有尖酸刻薄，身边没有剑的人是世界上的妇女，但我们男人，即使我们去海牙讨论和平，我们身边也有一把剑。”值得注意的是，即使到了这个年纪，人们也无法和平地讨论国际问题。
When I turned away from that place up in North Dakota that man in the crowd called out again, just as we were leaving, and said, "Well what does a woman know about war anyway?" I had read my paper that morning and I knew what the awful headline was, and I saw a gentleman standing in the crowd with a paper in his pocket, and I said, "Will that gentleman hold the paper up." And he held it up, and the headline read, "250,000 Men Killed Since the War Began".
当我转身离开北达科他州的那个地方时，正当我们要离开时，人群中的那个男人再次喊道：“好吧，女人对战争了解多少？”那天早上我读过我的报纸，我知道那个可怕的标题是什么，我看到一位绅士站在人群中，口袋里揣着一张纸，我说，“那位绅士能把纸举起来吗？”他举起它，标题写着：“自战争开始以来，有 25 万人被杀”。
I said, "You ask me what a woman knows about war?
我说：“你问我女人对战争了解多少？
No woman can read that line and comprehend the awful horror; no woman knows the significance of 250,000 dead men, but you tell me that one man lay dead and I might be able to tell you something of its awful meaning to one woman.
没有哪个女人能读懂这句话并理解其中的可怕。没有一个女人知道 250,000 名死去的男人的意义，但你告诉我一个男人死了，我也许可以告诉你这对一个女人来说有什么可怕的意义。
I would know that years before a woman whose heart beat in unison with her love and her desire for motherhood walked day by day with her face to an open grave, with courage, which no man has ever surpassed, and if she did not fill that grave, if she lived, and if there was laid in her arms a tiny little bit of helpless humanity, I would know that there went out from her soul such a cry of thankfulness as none save a mother could know.
我会知道，早在很多年前，一个女人的心跳与她的爱和对母性的渴望一致，日复一日地走向一座敞开的坟墓，她的勇气是任何人都无法超越的，如果她没有填满那个坟墓，如果她还活着，如果她的怀里怀着一点点无助的人性，我就会知道她的灵魂中发出了除了母亲之外无人能知道的感激之声。
And then I would know, what men have not yet learned that women are human; that they have human hopes and human passions, aspirations and desires as men have, and I would know that that mother had laid aside all those hopes and aspirations for herself, laid them aside for her boy, and if after years had passed by she forgot her nights of sleeplessness and her days of fatiguing toil in her care of her growing boy, and when at last he became a man and she stood looking up into his eyes and beheld him, bone of her bone and flesh of her flesh, for out of her woman's life she had carved twenty beautiful years that went into the making of a man; and there he stands, the most wonderful thing in all the world; for in all the Universe of God there is nothing more sublimely wonderful than a strong limbed, clean hearted, keen brained, aggressive young man, standing as he does on the border line of life, ready to reach out and grapple with its problems.
然后我就会知道，男人还不知道女人也是人；他们和男人一样拥有人类的希望和人类的激情、抱负和欲望，我会知道母亲已经把所有这些希望和抱负都抛在了自己身上，为了她的儿子，把它们放在一边，如果多年过去后，她忘记了她的不眠之夜和照顾她成长中的儿子的劳累劳作的日子，当他终于成为一个男人时，她站着，抬头看着他的眼睛，看着他，骨中之骨，肉中之肉，因为她是从她身上生出来的。她为女人的一生雕刻了二十个美好的岁月，这些岁月造就了一个男人；他站在那里，这是世界上最美妙的事情；因为在整个上帝的宇宙中，没有什么比一个四肢强壮、心地纯洁、头脑敏锐、进取的年轻人更崇高奇妙的了，他站在生命的边缘，准备伸出援手，解决生活中的问题。
O, how wonderful he is, and he is hers.
哦，他是多么美妙，他是她的。
She gave her life for him, and in an hour this country calls him out and in an hour he lies dead; that wonderful, wonderful thing lies dead; and sitting by his side, that mother looking into the dark years to come knows that when her son died her life's hope died with him, and in the face of that wretched motherhood, what man dare ask what a woman knows of war.
她为他献出生命，一小时后这个国家就呼唤他，一小时后他就死了；那个美妙、美妙的东西已经死了；坐在他身边的母亲，看着未来的黑暗岁月，知道当她的儿子去世时，她一生的希望也随之消失，面对那个可怜的母性，哪个男人敢问一个女人对战争的了解。
And that is not all.
这还不是全部。
Read your papers, you can not read it because it is not printable; you cannot tell it because it is not speakable, you cannot even think it because it is not thinkable, the horrible crimes perpetrated against women by the blood drunken men of the war.
阅读你的论文，你无法阅读它，因为它不可打印；你无法讲述它，因为它无法言说，你甚至无法思考它，因为它无法想象，战争中醉酒的男人对妇女犯下的可怕罪行。
You read your paper again and the second headlines read, "It Costs Twenty Millions of Dollars a Day," for what?
你再次阅读你的论文，第二个标题是“每天花费两千万美元”，这是为了什么？
To buy the material to slaughter the splendid results of civilization of the centuries.
购买材料来屠杀几个世纪文明的辉煌成果。
Men whom it has taken centuries to build up and make into great scientific forces of brain, the flower of the manhood of the great nations of Europe, and we spend twenty millions of dollars a day to blot out all the results of civilization of hundreds and hundreds of years.
这些人花了几个世纪的时间才建立起来并成为伟大的科学大脑力量，欧洲伟大国家的男子气概之花，而我们每天花费两千万美元来抹杀数百年文明的所有成果。
And what do we do?
我们该怎么办？
We lay a mortgage on every unborn child for a hundred and more years to come.
我们为每个未出生的孩子提供了未来一百多年的抵押贷款。
Mortgage his brain, his brawn, and every pulse of his heart in order to pay the debt, to buy the material to slaughter the men of our country.
抵押他的大脑、他的肌肉和他的每一个心跳，以偿还债务，购买材料来屠杀我们国家的人民。
And that is not all, the greatest crime of war is the crime against the unborn.
这还不是全部，战争中最大的罪行是针对未出生的婴儿的罪行。
Read what they are doing.
阅读他们在做什么。
They are calling out every man, every young man, and every virile man from seventeen to forty-five or fifty years old; they are calling them out.
他们正在召集每个男人，每个年轻人，以及每个从十七岁到四十五岁或五十岁的有男子气概的男人；他们正在呼唤他们。
All the splendid scientific force and energy of the splendid virile manhood are being called out to be food for the cannon, and they are leaving behind the degenerate, defective imbecile, the unfit, the criminals, the diseased to be the fathers of children yet to be born.
所有辉煌的科学力量和男子气概的能量都被召唤出来作为大炮的食物，他们把堕落的、有缺陷的低能者、不健康的人、罪犯、患病的人留下来成为尚未出生的孩子的父亲。
The crime of crimes of the war is the crime against the unborn children, and in the face of the fact that women are driven out of the home shall men ask if women shall fight if they are permitted to vote.
战争罪是针对未出生的孩子的犯罪，面对妇女被赶出家庭的事实，男人是否会询问妇女如果被允许投票是否应该参加战斗。
No, we women do not want the ballot in order that we may fight, but we do want the ballot in order that we may help men to keep from fighting, whether it is in the home or in the state, just as the home is not without the man, so the state is not without the woman, and you can no more build up homes without men than you can build up the state without women.
不，我们妇女不需要选票，以便我们可以战斗，但我们确实需要选票，以便我们可以帮助男人避免战斗，无论是在家庭中还是在国家中，就像家庭不能没有男人，国家也不能没有女人一样，没有男人你就无法建立家庭，就像没有女人你就无法建立国家一样。
We are needed everywhere where human problems are to be solved.
凡是需要解决人类问题的地方都需要我们。
Men and women must go through this world together from the cradle to the grave; it is God's way and the fundamental principle of a Republican form of government.
男人和女人必须一起走过这个世界，从摇篮到坟墓；这是上帝的道路，也是共和政体的基本原则。
