Democracy is a precious but also a precarious set of values. If we want to persuade others to subscribe to it, we do well to demonstrate that we not only believe in elections and majorities but also in the virtues of responsibility and honor.
民主不仅宝贵，更是一套不太稳定的价值观。如果希望说服他人相信民主，那么最好表明：我们不仅相信选举和多数意志，而且信奉责任与荣誉的美德。
