MORE than two centuries ago, the liberal philosopher Edmund Burke delivered a bracing warning to voters in Bristol, who had just elected him to Parliament.
两个多世纪前,自由主义哲学家埃德蒙·伯克向布里斯托刚刚推举他去议会的选民们传达了一个令全英人民振奋的警告。

As Edmund Burke argued: 「Liberty, if I understand it at all, is a general principle, and the clear right of all the subjects within the realm.」

As Edmund Burke wrote in England twenty years before the American Revolution, 「No passion so effectually robs the mind of all its powers of acting and reasoning as fear.」
正如埃德蒙德·伯克在美国革命二十年前就在英国写道:「没有一种激情能够像恐惧一样全然地制约着人类其他行动和推理的进行」。
