monster and fling him to the public."
写一本书就是一次冒险。在刚刚开始写它的时候它是一种玩具和一种娱乐。然后它变成了你的情妇。然后它变成了你的主人。然后它变成了一个暴君。最后阶段是当你正准备屈从于你的奴仆身份，你杀死了这个恶魔并将它抛向了公众。

121、"How dreadful are the curses which Mohammedanism lays
on its votaries! Besides the fanatical frenzy, which is as
dangerous in a man as hydrophobia in a dog, there is this fearful
fatalistic apathy. Improvident habits, slovenly systems of
agriculture, sluggish methods of commerce, and insecurity of
property exist wherever the followers of the Prophet rule or live.
A degraded sensualism deprives this life of its grace and
refinement; the next of its dignity and sanctity. The fact that in
Mohammedan law every woman must belong to some man as his absolute
property - either as a child, a wife, or a concubine - must delay
the final extinction of slavery until the faith of Islam has ceased
to be a great power among men。Individual Moslems may show splendid
qualities. Thousands become the brave and loyal soldiers of the
Queen: all know how to die. But the influence of the religion
paralyses the social development of those who follow it. No
stronger retrograde force exists in the world. Far from being
moribund, Mohammedanism is a militant and proselytizing faith. It
has already spread throughout Central Africa, raising fearless
warriors at every step; and was it not that Christianity is
sheltered in the strong arms of science - the science against which
it had vainly struggled： the civilization of modern Europe might
fall, as fell the civilization of ancient Rome."
多么可怕是那些由穆斯林的信仰放置在它们的完全没有理解的真理之上诅咒！除了这种狂热无度的存在于一个人的身上就像狂犬病存在于一只狗身上一样危险的疯癫，还有那种可怕的宿命论的冷漠。各种各样的没有理性预见的习惯，各种各样的散漫邋遢的农业耕作制度，各种各样的落后停滞的商业方法，还有财产没有安全保障的现象存在于任何一个追逐着他们的先知创造的法律或生活方式的地方。一种已经退化了的感性化的信念剥夺了神赋予他们现在的幸福而又美好的生活，而且剥夺了他们的未来的尊严和神圣。在穆罕穆德的信奉者的法律之中，每一个妇女事实上必须归属于同上一个男人，就像她们是他的绝对财产一样——她们既像一个孩子，一位妻子，又像一位女仆——她们必须度日如年地生活在最终灭亡的奴隶制度之中直到穆斯林的教义已经不再是一种在男人们的之中巨大的力量。单个的穆斯森们可能表现出各种辉煌灿烂的品质。成千上万的穆斯林变成了女王的勇敢而又忠诚的战士：他们都知道如何去死。但是宗教的普遍流行瘫痪了那些追随它的民族的社会的发展。没有任何制衡性的相反的力量存在于这个穆斯林的世界之中。为了远离成为垂死挣扎的状态，穆斯林教义已经成为一种激进的和引诱人们改变信仰的信仰。它已经传播到整个中部非洲，它的每一步的传播都在提升那些无畏的武士，并且它已经不是现在的那种被科学的强大武装保护的基督教——科学已经迫使它徒劳地挣扎在这样的幻想之中：现代欧洲的文明可能衰落，正像古代罗马的文明已经衰落一样。

postponed."

124、"The power of the Executive to cast a man into prison
without formulating any charge known to the law and particularly to
deny him the judgement of his peers is in the highest degree odious
and is the foundation of all totalitarian government whether Nazi
or Communist."
运用行政性的强制性力量把一个人投入监狱而不需要提供依据人所共知的法律制订的任何指控并且特别是否定他所提供的他的同伴的公正的证词，这就是最最可恶的政府的行为和全部不管是纳粹或共产主义的极权政府的基础。
125、"Life is fraught with opportunities to keep your
mouth shut."
伴随着许多使你必须闭上你的嘴巴的机会，你的生命也就成为一种充满了问题的东西。
126、“They say that nobody is perfect. Then they tell you
practice makes perfect. I wish they'd make up their
minds."
他们说没有任何一个人是完美无缺的，然后他们又告诉你实际的生活可以使一个人变得完美无缺。我希望他们已经整理好了他们的思想。
127、"Always remember, that I have taken more out of
alcohol than alcohol has taken out of me."
这是值得永远记住的，与酒已经摆脱了我相比，我更加已经摆脱了酒。
128、"No folly is more costly than the folly of intolerant
idealism."
没有任何一种愚昧比那种不宽容的唯心主义的愚昧更加代价昂贵的了。
129、Socialism seeks to pull down wealth; Liberalism seeks
to raise up poverty. Socialism
would destroy private interests; Liberalism would preserve private
interests in the only way in which they can be safely and justly
preserved, namely, by reconciling them with public right. Socialism
would kill enterprise; Liberalism would rescue enterprise from the
trammels of privilege and preference. Socialism assails the
pre-eminence of the individual; Liberalism seeks, and shall seek
more in the future, to build up a minimum standard for the mass.
Socialism exalts the rule; Liberalism exalts the man. Socialism
attacks capital; Liberalism attacks
monopoly.
社会主义致力于打倒富有的人们，自由主义致力于提高贫穷的人们。社会主义将要摧毁私人的利益，自由主义将要保留它们……通过考查它们对待公众权利的态度，社会主义将会杀死个人的创业精神，自由主义将会把个人的创业精神从特权和偏见的束缚之中拯救出来。社会主义打击个人的卓越才能，自由主义现在正寻求，并且在未来的岁月之中将更多地寻求，为大众建立一个最低的生活标准。社会主义高举统治的旗帜，自由主义高举人的旗帜。社会主义攻击个人资本主义的精神，自由主义攻击垄断。
130、"Money is like manure, It's only good if you spread
it around."
金钱就像肥料，只有当你将它撒向四周的时候它才是绝对的好的。
