i reject a fundamental principle of democracy if i seek to prevent a fellow citizen of different background from fully expressing his thoughts on any subject.
如果我试图阻止一个具备不同背景的公民就任何话题自由地发表自己的观点,那就违背了民主的根本準则。
tonight, i speak to you not as a candidate for president, but as a citizen—a proud citizen of the united states, and a fellow citizen of the world.
