5. There are few places I the country where the Stars and Stripes has not found a purchase. 没有什么地方看不到星条旗。 6. But many of us define our personal safety and our national character by the very civil liberties that are being compromised in the name of state security. 但我们中许多人是用这些个人权利来定义个人安全和民族性的。 7. Each time it seems the crisis must generate a new paradigm in which such an atrocity will never be allowed to happen again—and yet it does happen again . 每次，危及似乎都肯定会产生一种新的模式，使这种暴行永远不会再发生—然而暴行又一次发生了。 8. “A country is only as strong as the people who make it up and the country turns into what the people want it to become,” James Baldwin wrote. “We made the world we’re living in and we have to make it over.” “组成这个国家的人民有多强大，这个国家就多强大；人民希望国家如何发展，国家就会如何发展，”詹姆斯。鲍德温写道。“我们使我们居住的世界成了这个样子，我们有必要重造这个世界。” 9. He and his fellow passengers did not let what must have been abject fear prevent them from acting—that is the true definition of courage. 他和飞机上的其他乘客并没有受卑劣的恐惧心理所左右而不敢行动—这就是勇气的真正的含义。 10. It’s a terrible irony that for a short time, while the condemned jet was aloft, the ideal of American democracy also reached its apex. 当这架注定要摔下来的飞机还在高空飞翔时，恰恰就在这短暂的时间里，美国的民主理想升至顶峰。两者结合在一起真是一种可怕的讽刺。
