《渊思寂虑》57 四种自由

THE FOUR FREEDOMS

四种自由

In the future days, which we seek to make secure, we look forward to a world founded upon four essential human freedoms.

我们要确保在将来的日子里,期待建立一个基于人类拥有着四项基本自由的世界。

The first is freedom of speech and expression – everywhere in the world.

其一就是言论和表达的自由 —— 世界各地都如此。

The second is freedom of every person to worship God in his own way -everywhere in the world.

其二就是每个人都可以自由地以自己的方式去敬神 —— 世界各地都如此。

The third is freedom from want – which, translated into world terms, means economic understandings which will secure to every nation a healthy peacetime life for its inhabitants – everywhere in the world.

其三就是免于匮乏的自由 —— 用这个世界的术语来说,就是对经济的理解会确保每个国家的居民都过上健康和平的生活 —— 世界各地都是如此。

The fourth is freedom from fear – which, translated into world terms, means a worldwide reduction of armaments to such a point and in such a thorough fashion, that no nation will be in a position to commit an act of physical aggression against any neighbour – anywhere in the world. . . . Franklin D. Roosevelt. (13 – 319).

其四就是免于恐惧的自由 —— 用这个世界的术语来说,就是在世界范围内削减军备,以一种彻底的方式到达这样的状态,没有国家可以对邻国采取任何侵略性的行动 —— 世界各地都是如此…富兰克林·D·罗斯福。
