Government (Part 9 of 9)

Americans harbor mixed feelings about their own government. They recognize the need for it, but they remain suspicious of it. To some Americans, the government is Big Brother, an oppressive organization which delights in taxing its people and meddling in their affairs. To others, the government is a rich Uncle Sam who provides for the poor and protects his people from bullies at home and abroad. But no matter how they view their government, Americans wouldn't trade it for any other on the face of the earth.

美國人對他們自己的政府懷有複雜的情感。他們知道它存在必要性,但還是對它存疑。對某些美國人來說,政府是一個壓抑人民的組織,以向人民徵稅為樂,並干預人民隱私的「老大哥」。對其他人來說,政府是一個富有的山姆叔叔,它供養窮人並保護它的人民在國內外免受欺凌。不管他們怎樣看待他們的政府,美國人都不會將它與地球上任何一個政府交換的。

The Day's Phrase 


Ned began to cry when he lost his wallet. But I said to him, "Don't lose your head over it, it was just money."
奈德的錢包掉了,他就開始哭了起來。但是我對他說:「別因此就亂了方寸,那不過是錢而已。」
