They have not yet acquired either the faculty of reason or the wisdom of experience. Consequently, they are defenseless (incapable of fending for themselves) and blameless (incapable of real sin).

And in wartime, they are supposed to be protected by special immunity because they can have threatened or offended no one. 孩子们之所以有权享受特殊照顾有两个理由：无助和无辜。他们还没有具备推理的能力或来自 经验的智慧。因此，他们不能自卫（不能照顾自己） ，无可指责（不可能真正犯罪） 。这就是我们给 予他们特殊保护的原因。在紧急情况下，我们有责任先救他们，因为孤独无助的他们已将生命交付 于我们手中。在战时，他们应该受到特殊豁免权的保护，因为他们不可能会威胁或冒犯的到任何人。 1、 独立生活的能力对于任何一个成年人来说都是必不可少的， 但真正的成熟远远不只是一整套的生 存策略。 1.The ability to fend for oneself is indispensable to any adult,but real maturity is more than just a set of survival strategies. 2、孩子们在儿童节有资格免费进入每一个城市公园。这是对他们全年长期呆在学校里的一种补偿。 2.On Children's Day,kids are entitled to free entry to all the city parks.It's a way of compensating them for the long hours they spend in school all year. 3、你更注重个人的生活而不是学习，难怪你的成绩下降了。 3.You're giving more priority to your personal life than to your studies.It's no wonder your grades are suffering. 4、鉴于当今社会大多数的妇女在外谋职，很自然她们反对丈夫把她们作为管家来对待。 4.Given that most women nowadays have jobs outside the home,it's natural that they object to their husbands treating them like housekeepers. 5、美国的不少百万富翁都至少拥有两座房子和一架私人飞机。 5.Quite a number of American millionaires own at least two houses and a private plane. 6、当约翰从癌症中意外地康复时，他的医生把此归功于他坚强的毅力和对未来的信念。 6.When John recovered unexpectedly from cancer,his doctors attributed it to his strong will and faith in the future. 7、没有任何实际理由要保留为女性开门的那种习俗，更不用说保留“妇女和儿童优先”的传统了。 7.There is no practic

The rivalry between the U.S. and the former Soviet Union meant that the two countries were determined to be the first to put a man on the moon. President John F. Kennedy promised that America would win this race and, as one of the most popular presidents in American history, he inspired a nation to think of space exploration as the ultimate test of America's superiority over her Soviet enemy. 1969 年由美国人获胜的登月竞赛几乎完全是受政治驱动的。美国和前苏联之间的竞争意味着这两个国家 都决心首先将人送到月球上。约翰?F?肯尼迪总统保证美国将赢得这场竞赛，作为美国历史上最得民心的总统 之一，他激励国民将外层空间探索视为美国对其敌人苏联的优越性的终极考验。 America's success as the first nation to reach the moon, coupled with continuing Cold War rivalry, created much public support for the space programme and Washington was able to fund many more missions. During the 1970s, the moon was visited again, unmanned missions were sent to Mars and, for the first time, man-made craft were put on paths that would take them out of the solar system. 美国作为第一个到达月球的国家的成功， 以及持续不断的冷战竞赛， 赢得了公众对于太空计划的大力支持， 所以华盛顿能够为更多航天任务提供资金。在 20 世纪 70 年代，月球被再次访问，不载人的
