71. no prudent person dared to act on the assumption that, when the continent was settled, one government could include the whole; and when the vast expense broke up, as seemed inevitable, into a collection of separate nations, only discord, antagonism, and wars could be expected.
71、沒有一個謹慎的人能按如下的假設行事：當陸地確定以后，一個政府并不能包括全部；當這種巨大的開銷終于為幾個民族時，這看起來是不可避免的，人們就只能等待著爭論，敵對和戰爭了。
72. if they were right in thinking that the next necessity in human progress was to lift the average person upon an intellectual and social level with the most favored, they stood at least three generations nearer than europe to that goal.
72、如果他們認為人類進步的下一步必需是把普通人的智力水平和社會地位向著最受歡迎的方向提高的看法正確的話，他們至少要比歐洲超前三代接近那個目標。
73. somehow he knows that if our huckstering civilization did not at every moment violate the eternal fitness of things, the poet’s song would have been given to the world, and the poet would have been cared for by the whole human brotherhood, as any man should be who does the duty that every man owes it.
73、他認識到如果不是我們的“小貶”文明每時每刻地破壞事實內部的和諧的話，詩人的詩歌就該已經奉獻給了世界，而詩人也該被全人類關懷著，每個為大家做事的人都該被如此對待。
74. the instinctive sense of the dishonor which money-purchase does to art is so strong that sometimes a man of letters who can pay his way otherwise refuses pay for his work, as lord byron did, for a while, from a noble pride, and as count tolstoy has tried to do, from a noble conscience.
74、金錢購買給藝術的本能恥辱感如此強烈，以致可有時文人可以獲得報酬卻拒絕為其作品給予的報酬，lord byron有時因為尊貴的自豪而這么做，而count tolstoy則出于貴族的良知而盡力這么做。
75. perhaps he believed that he could not criticize american foreign policy without endangering the support for civil rights that he had won from the feder al government.
75、也許他認為他批評美國的外支政策就會使他從聯幫政府那里獲得的對和的支持受到威脅。
76. abraham lincoln, who presided in his stone temple on august 28, 1963 above the children of the slaves he emancipated (解放), may have used just the right words to sum up the general reaction to the negroes’ massive march on washington.
76、abraham lincoln在1963年8月28日在他掌管的石頭寺里解放了奴隸的孩子們，使用了正確的詞語來總統對待華盛頓的黑人群眾游行。
77. in the warren court era, voters asked the court to pass on issues concerning the size and shape of electoral districts, partly out of desperation because no other branch of government offered relief, and partly out of hope that the court would reexamine old decisions in this area as it had in others, looking at basic constitutional principles in the light of modern living conditions.
77、在warren法庭時代，選民們要求法庭通過有關選區的大小和形狀的問題，一方面因為出于絕望－沒有什么其他的政府部門提供緩解的辦法；一方面出于希望－法庭根據現代的生活條件來審視基本的憲法原則,像其他地區一樣重新審查在這一地區的舊的規定。
78. some even argue plausibly that this weakness may be irremediable : in any society that, like a capitalist society, seeks to become ever wealthier in material terms disproportionate rewards are bound to flow to the people who are instrumental in producing the increase in its wealth.
78、有些人甚至看似事理地認為這一弱點無可補救：在任何一個在物質財富方面追求更加富裕的社會中，比如說資本主義社會，比例不均衡的回報肯定要流向那些在創造財富增長的過程中提供設備的人。
79. this doctrine has broadened the application of the fourteenth amendment to other, nonracial forms of discrimination, for while some justices have refused to find any legislative classification other than race to be constitutionally disfavored, most have been receptive to arguments that at least some nonracial discriminations, sexual discrimination in particular, are “suspect” and deserve this heightened scrutiny by the courts.
79、這一學說把十四修正案的應用擴大到了其他方面，由于一些法官拒絕用憲法來給除種族外的東西來進行法定分類予以否定，許多人覺得這一論點可以接受；至少有一些非種族的歧視，特別是性別歧視被懷疑要受法庭的仔細審查。
80. but as cameras become more sophisticated, more automated, some photographers are tempted to disarm themselves or to suggest that they are not really armed, preferring to submit themselves to the limits imposed by premodern camera technology because a cruder, less high-powered machine is thought to give more interesting or emotive results, to have more room for creative accident.
80、但由于照相機變得越來越精細，越來越自動化了，一些攝影師禁不住開始解除他們的裝備或者說他們根本沒什么裝備，而傾向于運用那些非現代的照相技術，因為一架未成熟，力不大的機器被認為更加有趣或者說更能有情緒結果，給人更多的創作空間.
